NI Apply — National Insurance Application Service

About NI Apply

Who we are

NI Apply is a dedicated National Insurance number application service, built to make the process of obtaining or recovering your NI number simple, fast, and stress-free.

We understand that navigating government processes can be confusing and time-consuming. Our service is designed to handle the complexity for you — from gathering the right documents to submitting your application correctly the first time.

Our parent company: Tax2U Ltd

NI Apply is a trading name of Tax2U Ltd, a UK-registered company (Company No. 07687557, registered in England & Wales). Tax2U has years of experience helping individuals and businesses with tax-related services, self-assessment, and HMRC compliance.

Building on that expertise, Tax2U created NI Apply as a dedicated service focused specifically on National Insurance number applications — giving people a clear, supported path through what can otherwise be a frustrating process.

Why NI Apply was created

Applying for a National Insurance number through official channels can take weeks and often involves confusing paperwork, long phone queues, and uncertainty about whether your application is progressing.

Tax2U launched NI Apply to solve this. We provide a seamless, assisted service that:

  • Guides you through every step of the application with plain-English instructions
  • Checks your documents before submission to avoid rejections
  • Offers fast-track options for those who need their NI number urgently
  • Provides real support — speak to a real person, not an automated system
  • Handles lost and recovered NI number requests alongside new applications

Whether you are starting a new job, registering as self-employed, claiming benefits, or arriving in the UK to work, we make sure your NI number application is done right.

What we do

NI Apply offers a range of National Insurance number services:

  • New NI number applications — for UK residents, EU/EEA nationals, and non-EU workers arriving in the UK
  • Lost NI number recovery — if you have misplaced or forgotten your NI number, we help you trace and recover it
  • Employer services — bulk application support for businesses hiring workers who need NI numbers
  • Document checking — we review your documents before submission to minimise delays
  • Fast-track processing — prioritised handling for urgent applications

Our commitment to you

As part of Tax2U Ltd, we operate to the highest standards of professionalism and data security:

  • Real people, real support — our team is available by phone and online to answer your questions
  • Data protection — your personal information is handled in line with UK GDPR and data protection laws
  • Transparent pricing — our fees are clear upfront, with no hidden charges
  • Registered and accountable — Tax2U Ltd is a registered UK company, giving you recourse and confidence

We are not affiliated with HMRC or the Department for Work and Pensions. We are an independent application assistance service. You can apply for an NI number directly through HMRC at no cost, but many people choose our service for the convenience, speed, and support we provide.
