NIM39130 - National Insurance Numbers (NINOs): Format and Security: Not entitled to a NINO

Not everyone who wants a NINO will get one. Some people do not fall into the category of needing a NINO, including:

• people over pension age who are neither:

• • working, nor
  • claiming benefit or tax credits, or need one for other HMRC/DWP purposes

• children under age 16.

For reasons why people need a NINO, see NIM39125.

For legislation see NIM39330.

NINOs are not issued for any other purpose, for example ISAs or a mortgage or loan. These organisations can make alternative arrangements for people who do not have a NINO.
