The Revenue will no longer accept temporary NI numbers.  If an employee does not have a National Insurance number:

The Jobcentre Plus office will give the employee a date for a face-to-face interview.  This interview is to check the employee’s identity before they are given an NI number.  They will tell the employee which documents they need to take with them to the interview.
