National Insurance Number

Question

I worked in the UK from 1976 - 1989 and am currently living in Italy. I would like to return to work and live in the UK. Is my previous NI number still valid?

Answer 1

I could find several sources confirming that the National insurance number does not expire, so your NI number is still valid.
