💨 Abstract

UK residents typically receive their National Insurance number (NIN) around their 16th birthday. This number, unique to each person, is essential for tracking National Insurance contributions, which fund public services like the NHS and pension schemes. The NIN ensures the correct amount of tax is deducted from earnings. You can find your NIN on various documents such as P60s, payslips, and tax letters, or via the HMRC app.
