If you have a query about your National Insurance contribution history, call this number. This helpline is open from Monday to Friday. You will need to provide proof of identity when calling this number.
NI numbers are assigned by sections. The suffixes A, B, and C indicate the period of validity of the corresponding NI card.
Telephone number
A national insurance number (NI) is a unique number that identifies you. It is used by HM Revenue and Customs to record your earnings and tax payments. It is also used for correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs about your work or benefits. It is important to know your NI number because it will help you claim the correct amount of benefit. It will also make it easier to track your earnings.
You can apply for an NI number by visiting the HMRC website. You can also contact them by phone or by post. However, you should beware of scams and never give your NI number to someone else. You should report any suspicious telephone call, email or text to HMRC immediately.
HMRC will normally send your NI number to you by post. You may be asked to attend a face-to-face interview as part of your application. This is called an ‘evidence of identity interview’ and it will verify your name, address and date of birth.
If you don’t have an NI number, you can still get on the electoral register. However, you should know that this will only happen if you have the correct documentation and your application is complete. An application that does not contain a NI number or does not provide a reason why the NI number cannot be provided is not considered a completed application and will be rejected.
Fax number
The National Insurance number is a unique number used in the UK to identify people who pay tax or claim benefits. It has two prefix letters, six digits and a suffix letter. The NI number can be used to verify someone’s identity, but it is not proof of their age or date of birth. It is also used in conjunction with a passport for immigration purposes. The NI number can be found on the front of an NIC card and in many other documents such as payslips, P60s, and official letters about tax or benefits. The NI number is also used in applications for Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs).
HMRC has several helplines for enquiries about the NI number. You can contact these lines by phone, email or post. You can also report a claim on their website. HMRC aims to respond to all claims reported by telephone, email or online within 24 hours of receiving the report. If you need to report a claim outside business hours, you can use the fax number to report the claim. ביטוח לאומי טלפון
