What If Your NIN Details Do Not Match?
Mismatched names, dates of birth or other details can stop your NIN from being verified and delay your application. Start any correction early, as it may not be completed straight away.
Do not create a new NIN because your existing details are wrong. Duplicate NIN records cause further problems.
Check before you submit
- Your full name is spelled correctly
- Your date of birth is accurate
- Your gender is correct
- The NIN belongs to you
- Your passport details match your NIN record
- Your supporting documents are consistent
