    Call into your local JBO or SSO and tell them you wish to apply for one. They will fill out a form for you and then send this to NINO section which there a few in N.I, the one in Belfast being in Shaftsbury Square JBO.

    You will then be made attend an interview and after this you will get a NINO. Usually doesnt take long, 8days I think.
