Hello.I Received COA,as applied for EEA2.call to book national insurance number and lady on the phone said I can not apply as I dont have passport,HO told me that with COA I can apply for it.Anyone have experience on that.thanks.

Book the appointment and discuss this face-to-face. This direct.gov web page suggests that other information may suffice.

You can also ask UKBA to return your passport.

tHE pdf below from DWP seems to confirm that COAs are acceptable as helping to confirm Right to Work and so I presume also identity.

It would also be better if you could also supply some of the other documents mentioned to help confirm your identity.

pdf is found here:

101. There are customers who may not be able to produce any form of
documentary evidence e.g:
• homeless
• of no fixed abode
• travellers
• victims of disaster or
• fleeing domestic violence.

102. It should be noted that if a customer cannot provide primary
identification documents, their identity may still be verified.

103. An EOI interview must still take place and once the reason has been
identified ensure all information is recorded at Part 6 of the CA5400.

104. A holistic approach should be taken in these circumstances and a
decision made based on the information provided."

yes i got ni number ...on COA..i jus provide my proof of adress my wife national insurance number, my marriage certificate, and COA letter..thats it after 2 weks i receive my ni on letter and wek after receive my card...

just book the appointment tell them you have everything thats it..

I also got NINO with COA, ID card and proof of address. You don't get a card anymore, though. The number printed on a letter is all you get.

@Alekos,

You're wrong there. You still get a National Insurance Number Card. I got my NI Number in June and it only took me 3 days to get it. I did the interview on a Monday and my NI Number was issued on Wednesday ( The letter with my number was in my house on Wednesday ). My NINO Card was issued 2 weeks later. People are still issued with NI Cards. However, if you lose the card, you can't have a replacement card again or you might have to pay for one. Once you know your number offhand, you don't need an NI Card again. Cheers.

thank you guys,i will try on monday.if they will ask me i will tell them i have everything,and when i will be there i will explain
