Thank you. 


 

Hi abroadinireland,
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide examples, you would need to complete the CF83 application form for your personal circumstances to be reviewed, and confirmation on whether you are eligible to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions at the lass 2 rate.
If you do not meet the criteria set out in 2(a) or 2(b), please attach a covering letter to your application providing details of periods when you have lived or worked in an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland or Turkey.
This additional information will be useful for HMRC when they assess your application. 
Thank you. 


 

Hi Jan S,
Based on the information you have provided, although you are not working in two or more countries, the CA8421 still sounds more applicable to your circumstances.
You can complete the CA8421 and attach a covering letter explaining your situation.
Thank you. 


 

Hi username_recreated,
Before deciding to pay any voluntary National Insurance contributions, may we suggest that you apply for a State Pension Forecast which will detail your current and future entitlement to a UK State Pension.
It will detail in any voluntary contributions will be required to improve your entitlement.
You may obtain this Forecast here:
Check your State Pension forecast
If, after receiving the Forecast you decide to pay the voluntary contributions then please call our National Insurance Helpline on 0300 200 3500 and they will be able to discuss with you how to make payment.
Thank you.

Hi Diarmuid Duggan,
Temporary National Insurance Numbers are just something that an employer would use on their payroll, until they are given a full National Insurance Number from their employee.
There is no register for a Temporary National Insurance Number so you may wish to speak with your employer about this.
However, your should give them your full National Insurance Number at your earliest convenience.
Thank you. 

 

Hi Adey,
We can confirm that as you appear to be paying voluntary National Insurance contributions from overseas, the correct format of your ’18 Digit Reference Number’ is:
National Insurance Number followed by IC followed by surname and initials if possible.
This Reference Number is the same whichever bank account you use to make your payment to us.
Thank you. 


 

Hi Dav Chng,
We are unable make decisions on entitlement to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions by this method of communication.
We would, however, suggest that you read our leaflet NI38 ‘Social Security Abroad’ which you may obtain here:
Social Security abroad: NI38
And then if you wish to apply to pay voluntary contributions then complete our CF83 application form here:
Apply to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions when abroad (CF83)
Thank you. 
 

Hi N Goodall,
When you claim your UK State Pension with The Pension Service you would include details of your employment in other countries and they may be able to include these periods when they calculate your pension.
You may wish to call the International Pension Centre on 0191 2187777 and they will be able to help you further.
Thank you.
