  • RE: Cash ISA account for Retired Adult with No NI Number

    Hi HMRC Admin 19, this seems incorrect as per the guidance at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-open-an-isa-as-an-isa-manager#:~:text=National%20Insurance%20number,cash%20ISAs it is possible for someone to not have an NI number. Furthermore, when applying for an NI number at https://www.apply-national-insurance-number.service.gov.uk/apply/may-not-need-nin there is an explicit message that says one does not need an NI to open an ISA and that organisations should have an alternative means to support such people.
