Purpose of our service
7.1
The purpose of our service is to simplify the process of arranging Evidence of Identity interviews for national insurance number applicants as well as reporting change of details and getting replacement numbers – and minimise the risk of rejection due to mistakes and provide you with support. Our fast track service aims to secure the earliest possible interview, for example by attempting to fill cancellation slots. We are an independent intermediary, not an official government authority. You can apply directly to the official authority if you wish.
What we will do
7.2
Provided that you have supplied us with all of the necessary information, we will take reasonable steps to supply our Service as follows:
Evidence of Identity Interviews: To arrange your interview within 48 business hours. We will send details of the scheduled interview to the email address you have provided.
Change of details and replacement numbers: To send you the application pack within business 48 hours (i.e., for you to sign and send off to HMRC).
7.3
It is your responsibility to take reasonable steps to ensure that all information which you supply to us is accurate and complete. You agree to respond to any request by us for further information promptly and in any case within seven days. NB Our contract with you is automatically terminated if you fail to provide the information within that time. If so, there is no refund unless you have a legal right to one.
7.4
It is also your responsibility to attend any scheduled interview, to promptly despatch any application pack (change of details / replacement number) to the official authority, to follow up with the official authority if you do not receive an official response within the timescale we suggest as well as to take any additional steps needed as part of your application.
Failing to attend or rearranging interviews
7.5
If you fail to attend the interview on the scheduled date, there will be no refund of our fee (unless you have cooling off legal rights). If you wish us to request a new interview, there will be a rebooking fee.
7.6
If you give us sufficient notice before the scheduled date as explained in our FAQs, we will request a new interview at no extra charge. Otherwise there will be a new charge if you ask us request a new interview date.
Restrictions
7.7
We do not guarantee that you will be granted an interview at all or within any timeframe or that the official body will respond to your application to change details or for a new number within any particular timeframe or that any application you make will be successful.
7.8
We promise to supply our service with reasonable care and skill.
Completion of our Service
7.9
Unless we agree to provide additional services, our Service is complete once we send you details of the scheduled interview or the application pack for change of details / replacement numbers or if you fail to respond to a request for information within the timeframe set out above.
8.1
You acknowledge that these are not official cards and should not be used for any official purpose or to prove your identity. These are intended only as a convenient way of keeping your NI number.
8.2
It is your responsibility to ensure that the name and NI number you supply us for the card are correct. There will be no refund if you have supplied us with the wrong information.

We will take reasonable steps to despatch your card within the timeframe specified on our website. You acknowledge that the delivery period is an estimate only.

8.7
Delivery costs are charged extra at the rate shown on our Service when you place your order. These will depend on the delivery method chosen.
