Is your NHI number just your APRC number?

228

NHI number is supposed to be 12-digit, so no. I see a 12-digit number on the bottom left corner of my NHI card, so assume thatā€™s it. First time Iā€™ve ever been asked for it though.

NHI calls the number in bottom left corner a serial number.
??

Actually, I think it says any one of 3 items could be wrong, one of which is NHI number. The others are ID number, or that I am not qualified (got a weird translation on that one, so not sure of the exact meaning). But when I enter a different NHI number, I get a different error message that only says the NHI number is wrong (so I guess maybe it wasnā€™t the item that was wrong originally).

I guess theyā€™re looking to save a bit of money with foreigners who have changed their APRC and havenā€™t bothered to get their NHI amended. I canā€™t think of any other reason to provide both.

I mean if people have enough brain cells to land an APRC, I am pretty sure they have enough to get their NHI amended if need be. Weird to attribute this to malice.

235

I suppose itā€™s two pieces of identity, which is standard. I was just trying to figure out the reason why the guy whoā€™s having a problem.

Iā€™d bet money Iā€™m right.

I submitted this just now. Iā€™m a bit unclear what happens next: so money should just show up in my bank account? What kind of timeline is this?

I think todayā€™s the day for my APRC number to register (final digit 4), although Iā€™m not 100% sure on that or if that matters for the site above.

Yes, I believe there could be 2 issues with the error, if all inputs are actually correct.

They havenā€™t told their bank a new ID number, or updated that number to the National Insurance (the NI number wonā€™t change, but I am not sure if you need to update them. Your A(p)RC number not linking to your banks expected number can be an issue in a lot of things)

243

Yes but the bank account needs to match your ID number

244

I was just reading the FAQs and pretty sure I am eligible, as a NWOHR residing overseas with a valid TARC.

But hubby who has household registration is not as his household registration is moved out.

In another case of the household registration system makes no sense :joy:

ID number on the A(P)RC and on the bank account must match. Probably the NHI card must have same ID number as well (some falsely do not get a new NHI card after ID number change).

foreigners who have changed their APRC and havenā€™t bothered to get their NHI amended

247

Is there a rule it needs to be replaced??
Iā€™ve always hesitated to change mineā€¦for years. Iā€™m worried clinics and hospitals systems may get confused with their old records on mr. Even my NHI phone app shows my old ARC number to log in.
Will that all be set straight by going to the NHI office?
Appreciate any info on this from anyone.
Iā€™m just concerned with all the past stories Iā€™ve heard of people having hassles with ARC numbers logging onto various systems.
