I have tried claiming online but the forms of ID asked for are a credit check which isnt a problem and a current passport which I dont have what do I do? Thank you
Before you apply You need your National Insurance number and your partner’s. If you have come to the UK and you do not plan to work or study, you cannot get a National Insurance number. Phone the Income Tax helpline to apply for Marriage Allowance. You also need a way to prove your identity. You can use any 2 of the following: your P60 one of your 3 most recent payslips your UK passport details information held on your credit file (such as loans, credit cards or mortgages) details from your Self Assessment tax return (in the last 3 years)
They also say if you can't apply on line you can do it by phone or mail
