Find your Child Benefit number

Your Child Benefit number starts with ‘CHB’ and is made up of 8 numbers and 2 letters, eg CHB12345678 AB.

It’s on your Child Benefit award notice and usually on paperwork from the Child Benefit Office.

You can also contact the Child Benefit Office online or by phone to get your number.

If you use the online form, confirm you want your Child Benefit number. If someone else has asked for it, say who they are (the Child Benefit Office may be able to send it to them for you).
