We are redesigning the NRPF Network website to make it easier for you to find support and information online.
We’d like to invite you to take a survey and share your feedback so we can make sure the new website works better for you.
The survey should take about 10 to 20 minutes. It is open until 14 June.
An application can be made by a parent who does not have a National Insurance number, although the identity of all parties involved will need to be proved, preferably with birth certificates.
Firstly, the parent must contact Child Maintenance Options to discuss their options. If they do not have a National Insurance number, they can ask for their case to be managed via the Exceptional Case Handling Process.
A claim for child maintenance would then need to be made through the Child Maintenance Service.
