A new validation for National Insurance (NI) Numbers was introduced into MAO on 24th October 2017.\u00a0This has been introduced to prevent the increasing number of duplicate NI Numbers appearing on the system. If an apprentice has been entered onto MAO previously, the forename, surname and NI Number fields for any new records will need to match the existing record exactly<\/span><\/b>. If you enter an apprentice and the NI Number matches another record in a different name you will see the following error message.<\/p>\n

The quickest way to resolve any NI Number errors is to check your own MAO account to see if you have entered the apprentice\u2019s name differently in the past. To search your account you can type the NI Number into the \u2018Keyword\u2019 field on MAO. If this does not solve your issue then the System Support Team<\/a>\u00a0are on hand to help via the helpdesk<\/a>. It could be that another training provider has entered the apprentice\u2019s details in a different format for a previous apprenticeship which the System Support Team<\/a> can help you to resolve.<\/p>\n
