I have a TFN, but they won't accept it..

I managed to secure an NI interview/appointment in London on the 10th of Jan.... a lot later than I would've liked, but it's better than anything. I'm surprised you even need to have an interview for this... in Australia you call up and they give you one instantly.

I signed up to a GP last week as the bank said they'd accept a letter from them confirming my address. I picked up that letter today, immediately went to both banks, and both said "Sorry this isn't accepted"???????? I feel like I'm getting a different answer for every different person I talk to...

Strange.. they should accept TFN as a form of valid identity..

Glad you got an appointment scheduled - tbh, it can take Months, so you were quite lucky.

The difference with Aus, though, is that outside special circumstances, you have to have a job ligned up, and in a 'skilled' sector, before you can apply to live there (or did about 13 Years ago, when one of my friends was wishing to move there).

..and yeah.. the problem with different people having different info/requirements (or not knowing that something isn't accepted, thus recommending it), is rife, over here (it's actually better in a lot of places I've visited in Africa, lol).

. . And yes I'm in Cambridge at the moment.

It's really disappointing that so many things in the UK require you to send original copies through the mail to them, where they'll hold it for weeks.... hard for me considering I'd have no ID with me in case I need it lol.

I applied for a drivers licence here and paid the fee, then a letter came asking for my birth certificate and passport to be sent to them, yet I need those for the passport application lol.

Sad that Justice of the Peace stamped document copies aren't accepted, but I think I'll have to bite the dust and risk sending my originals in the mail after I find a countersigner, and hope that they're not lost/damaged.... >.<


I may be able to get one of my friends to countersign for you, depending on timing, and place (though most are leaving, on the 19th, or won't be going into the centre, after that).

I agree that it's a big worry, having the originals going all over the place (especially when you have experienced their disorganisation, in other areas).

Being able to work together is great, though!
(hopefully you find ways to spend more time, like that, as it makes a big difference to the amount of time you can spend together : ) ).
