The general expertise on this site is limited to Ireland, N. Ireland is part of the UK and therefore the rules are different. You will need to contact the Department of Work & Pensions ( it may have a different title now) in the N. Ireland to establish how you register for a National Insurance number. You might also ask the employment agency to give you some advice in this regard. Also you will need to check whether or not you are eligible for State benefits before you move.
