Registration
All persons engaging in gainful employment in The Bahamas – whether employed on a temporary, probationary, part-time or permanent basis – are required to register with The National Insurance Board. Registration should be undertaken before, or as soon as possible after commencing work.
The National Insurance number is a unique eight (8) digit number that is distinctive, personal and specifically identifies the individual (the year and quarter of the registrant’s birth; and his/her sex). Once a number is assigned, the registrant does not have to register again – even if changing jobs, moving to a new island, or changing names.

Additionally, businesses (employers) and self- employed persons are required to register with NIB. The employer/ self-employed are assigned a unique nine (9) digit number for the payment and recording of contribution payments.
