Just change the last few digits on your NI number. Lots of people get theirs wrong by mistake."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Was I was in Accountancy doing payroll and someone had no NINO we'd use the then accepted format, TN, date of birth, sex, ie TN01011970F TN being temporary number, F for, oooh err, Female.....
Not supposed to be allowed now but so many still use the old system...Comment

Yes..I was about to mention the same. This Maidenhead (office in Newport/Wales too) based Telco equip vendor is doing the same for last 3-4 years NINO & DOB needed. Its for pimps to upload CV to their recruitment portal. You need not give correct NINO, if you haven't given previously.Comment
