National Insurance Number application

Date: 20th March 2008
Venue: Job Centre Plus

A National Insurance (NI) number is a personal number used:
i) record a person's NI contributions and credited contributions
ii) it is needed when claiming social security benefits.
A NI number should only be given to one person and must only be

used by that person. There are circumstances when, by law,
you must apply for a NI number.

With this, i have to apply for an NI number because i'll be start
working on 8th April 2008 (YEAH!!!!!). Before you apply, you need
to call the centre and make an appointment with Job Centre Plus.
On that day, you need to bring all relevent documents for application.

My appointment is at 1.15pm. I reached there at about 12.30pm and

thought of waiting in the lobby but i was chased out by the guard.
So terrible...... i wandered at city centre and went back at around 1pm.
I reported myself to the receptionist and later a guy (looked like
men in black) came and "escorted" me to the lift and asked me to
go to level 1. It's really scary!!!!!!

I was entertained by a nice lady and she has made the application
process simple and short. I'll be getting my NI number after 3 weeks.
Thank God for the smooth process.
