Why hasn't my National Insurance number came through?

Question

I'm nearly 16 in a month and I want to get a job, I told my dad but he said I haven't got my national insurance number, anyway of applying for it? Or will it come naturally?

Answer 1

If you were born in the UK. you should be receiving a NI just prior to your 16th birthday. But you can call DWP and check to see if one has been or will be sent to you.
