Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when the digital service for issuing National Insurance Numbers will be ready for public use.
The digital application service is currently available to applicants, who have already had their identity verified through another government department, primarily the Home Office.
The digital service enables Non EU/EEA nationals who have been granted a visa with the right to work, EU/EEA nationals who have been granted settled or pre-settled status, through the EU Settlement Scheme, and UK passport holders to make application using this service.
