Change of National Insurance number (NINO)
If you've entered your NINO incorrectly during the application process, contact us to update this. You may need to send evidence before it can be amended.
Your NINO is not printed on your UK GHIC or UK EHIC so this will not affect you being able to use it whilst we're updating your record.

If you’ve moved address and have a dependant UK GHIC or UK EHIC and no longer live with the main applicant, contact us to update this.
Any dependant children who have moved address must also be updated. You may need to send evidence before we can update this.
