HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi 
I can confirm that if a person has been employed or self-employed in the UK and National Insurance contributions have been paid then they will require a National Insurance Number in order for these contributions to be recorded in their favour.  
They may still apply for a National Insurance Number whatever length of time they have been overseas.
Thank you.

Hi 
The 3 additional years on top of the 9 you have fully paid may be what are called Juvenile Credits.
Tax payers who reached the age of 16 before April 2010 were given automatic class 3 Juvenile credits for tax years they were 16, 17 and 18 years of age.
This applies if you were living outside the UK at the time as well.
However you can contact our customer helpline or webchat to get a more precise answer.
