Use this guide if you have changed jobs several times, moved house often or think you may have old accounts you have lost track of. Have a list of past employers with rough dates, old addresses and your National Insurance number.

Step by step

  1. List your work and address history

    Write down every employer you can remember with approximate dates, plus any personal pensions you set up. List old addresses too, as providers may have lost contact when you moved. Old payslips, P60s and letters can fill in gaps.
