Identification documents – It is important that you have photo ID and a copy of your birth certificate when you leave care.

We will help you to make sure you have the documents you need, and have your National Insurance number and bank account all set up. If you have lost your National Insurance Number https://www.gov.uk/find-national-insurance-number  you can make a request for it to be replaced.

We’ll also help you to get a Passport or Provisional Driving Licence.
