SilverSkeleton Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm in the process of applying for a job just now, was wondering if the P&B masses could help me out. The problem is, I have to provide evidence of my National Insurance number and they won't accept my payslip as it isn't an original document issued by my employer. My payslips are received online in PDF format so I thought it would be okay to print this off and send it to them but apparently not. My N.I. card has been lost for years and, having checked HMRC, it appears replacement cards aren't issued. The e-mail I have from my prospective employer says that they will accept a letter from HMRC or DWP with my N.I. number on it but I can't think of anything I have with this on it. If anyone out there has anything to suggest I'd be delighted, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbert Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Do you have a P45 from an old job? That should have it somewhere, although since it's filled out by your old employer it might not be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracowjambo Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Use a letter from HMRC. I lost my card years ago and just use a recent-ish letter and it's never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If you've been in employment for over a year then you get your annual P60 which should be more than adequate. Seems a bit weird that they ask for proof of your NI number, I worked for the DWP in the past and they sure as hell didn't ask me for anything like that. Just as well though as I haven't seen my card in over 15 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If you write to HMRC about say, your NIC contributions, and quote your NI number, they will (eventually) write back, quoting your number. This might not be quick enough for your purpose, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Did they tell you that they don;t issue replacement cards by letter? That would have your NI number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I had a similar problem with the HMRC - i had got a UTR number years before under recommendation of co workers but never needed it until the summer when i was working in Edinburgh. Obviously i had lost my number and couldn't get my parents to find it so had to get on the phone to them to get a replacement, took about an hour on the phone then went through the steps they said they were sending it out and it should be within 2 weeks, 2 weeks past and still no reminder so phoned them again and they said it may take another 2 weeks after another hour long wait on the phone. Then i finally got it but for the first 4 weeks of work i was on emergency tax code. Get to claim it back mind you but by f**k they're awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You could try nipping into the dole office with a Passport/Driving license and ask them to do you an official letter. They have to spend all their time fucking up peoples' lives at the mo, so they might quite like a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Go to your payroll and ask for a copy of the letter they received to change your tax code in April. They will have an electronic copy to adjust your tax code as most folks changed to 1000l then etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiesquirrel Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I recently got a letter with my NI number sent out to me. They can no longer send it via email, you must get it from them in a letter and it takes the guts of a month for said letter to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by co workers and my mrs who does tax returns that i can claim it back in April and get it all back as it was just a summer job and i didn't earn over 7 grand in the fiscal year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 P45, P60 or shit like that. Some employers these days are asking for a full 5 year work history, and want people to account for periods between jobs - the local Jobcentre can give you a 'confirmation of benefits' letter, which will list periods when you were claiming benefits - any letter from those cats ought to include your NI number. Good luck with the job hunting, bubba! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
