    This is my problem:

    Non-resident in the UK. I have been offered a job with a British company and they have advised me to apply for NINO.

    I have been in touch with HMRC, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Jobcentreplus.

    HMRC asked me to contact DWP, which I did. They said I could apply for a number without a permanent address. My employer could also apply on my behalf but they won't do it. I spoke to Jobcentre but they couldn't accommodate me for an interview as I do not have a permanent address in the UK. The lady on the telephone said I will be rejected if I apply for one without the address.

    What should I do? I have reached a dead-end!

    You can always start like this:

    TN DD MM YY F/M

    TN-temporary number
    DD- day of birth
    MM-month
    YY- year
    F/M - female or male.

    You can give them this to start with till you sort out your situation ;)

    Are temporary national insurance numbers accepted?

    as far as i am concerned temporary NI Numbers no longer exist. so i would strongly advise you to contact a relevant government body to investigate your case. but do not breach the law as you may be prosecuted. please ensure you obtain the right information prior to making decisions.

    hope this helps...

    Oh well ....
    You are right,I stand corrected.

    The HM Revenue & Customs will no longer accept 'temporary' National Insurance numbers, for example TN220157M for a male born on 22 January 1957. This applies no matter which method you use to submit your forms and returns (for example paper, online) so in all cases you should try to obtain the correct National Insurance number.
