Apply for Universal Credit

You will need to give details of your:

postcode
National Insurance number
email address
bank, building society or credit union account that you want your Universal Credit paid into
tenancy/rent agreement (if you have one)
savings or other capital
any income that's not from work (for example, child maintenance)
any other benefits you get
any children, including their child benefit numbers

You may need these details for other people who live in your home, including a partner or grown up children.

You will need to use the gov.uk verify service (have proof of your ID to hand to speed up this process).
