    You can't get one until you are in the UK. Have a look at the FAQ in the London subforum for more info

    You can only get a NIN via an interview at the JobCenter.

    Sites like this one are a 'scam'. You pay £50 for them to arrange the interview.

    There's no such thing as an 'online site' application, it has to be done in person. I have no idea where you got that information from because it's completely wrong. Well you can book online but you will be asked to come into a job centre, no one gets it just because they made an application.

    Do you need proof of address to apply? Or is proof of identity enough?

    I don't remember requiring proof of address, just identity.

    By applying to vote you can get a letter to prove address.

    Applying to vote in the UK now requires a NI number.
