• information about your employment abroad
• the date you left the UK
• the country you were in
• your employers name and address (abroad)
• the employment start and end dates (abroad)
• who you had your contract with (read the section about ordinary residence on pages 6 and 7 of leaflet NI38 before you answer this question, we’ll ask you for more information if we need to check this)

You’ll also need to tell us:

• your National Insurance number
• your international address
• about your UK employment status before you left the UK, including employer name and address

Before you start using the print and post form

If you’re using an older browser, for example Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers.

You’ll need to fill in the print and post form fully before you can print it. You cannot save a partly completed form so gather all your information together before you start to fill it in.
