I am trying to apply for student finance but i can't do it without a national insurance number. GOV.UK says you are automatically given one when you turn 16 (18 now) but i don't think I have one.. has anyone else not been given one? How did you get one? I tried calling the hotline which gives you 'advice' but they put me on hold for 30 mins and i gave up..
Are there any documents my national insurance could be on if I had one? (I don't pay tax)
