Struggling to find your user ID?

Have you checked your emails? HMRC would have emailed your user ID to you upon registration. 

No luck? You can no longer recover your user ID online; you will therefore need to contact HMRC on 0300 200 3600. Please make sure you have your national insurance number or Self-Assessment UTR to hand!

You can reset your password on HMRC’s website. To do this, you will need:
  • Unique Taxpayer Reference 
  • National Insurance number or postcode linked with the account
  • User ID
