National Insurance plastic cards

[mrsmike]

have any of you got 16yr olds who have recently received national insurance numbers? Did they get a plastic card? I think we got a letter a couple of months ago saying that he would be receiving his NI number soon, and they were confirming our address, but nothing since. he has been 16 for 6 weeks now - anyone in same position? Thanks

DS received a plastic card well ahead of his 16th birthday and promptly lost it.

He phoned up and they sent him a paper notification in the post within the week.

They weren't snotty at all about it.

oh thanks, dunno what happened to ours then ...

You assume the left hand knows what the right hand is doing! It's probably on a missing laptop or CD somewhere

Hi my son also got his plastic card well before his 16th birthday.He got a letter before asking what name he wanted on the actual card we filled it in sent it back and he got the card.

DD3 was 16 in January and she got her plastic card in November 2007
