So the UK's National Insurance Number (NIN) is like the USA's Social Security Number (SSN) and Australia's Tax File Number (TFN)
not made for a universal ID but is used as one
@kurisu well I needed an NIN to open a bank account, I need it to get welfare I think..so right now I don't see how it differs
@LottieVixen oh... i don't think i needed one for that just a passport or other ID
