Do you get any kind of tax credits? They should be on there,also would be in your Doctors records.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

Sorry miss read you, 'original national insurance number documents' have never heard of that.I thought it was the NI number they was after.
Well you've got your NI number,have you got,drivers licence,passport,anything from the social.

We have a lot of newbies who have just joined the firm they may spot this and help you out.
Will move this to blue shirts.

• A document issued from a previous employer (Please note a P45 or P60 is not acceptable if you have provided a Birth Certificate as Proof of Right to Work in the UK, unless it is issued from HM Revenue and Customs).
• A document from the Inland Revenue or Jobcentre Plus
• A document from The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) or Employment Service
For Northern Ireland candidates only
• A document from the Training and Employment Agency OR the Northern Ireland Social Security Agency


P45 is fine if it's HMRC.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Just been through the same process with the same problems. Had to get a new birth certificate as my extract wasn't deemed suitable, but proof of NI number was the biggest problem. P45 and P60 were not accepted as they came from employer not HMRC. Eventually managed to locate an old tax rebate letter from a number of years ago that was accepted.
