Apply for a National Insurance Number

All students working in the UK need to have a National Insurance number. This is a unique identification of you for your employer and the tax office. It looks like this:

AB 12 34 56 C

If you are a home student you will have been issued with this number when you turned 16. If you have lost your card and want to reapply for one please call

0845 915 7006

International students will need to apply for their number as soon as they have found work although you can work and be paid without the National Insurance number.

Applying for a number

I am employed by the University of Bath (i.e. you are working on campus for the University and have been set up for pay through either JobLink or Human Resources. This includes all Students' Union jobs).

I am working off campus and am not paid by the University of Bath.
