Application checklist
Before you begin your application for child maintenance, you might find it helpful to use the checklist below. It covers all the major details you need to tell us about. The more detail you can give us, the quicker we can begin to process your application.
If we ask you to send us any documents, please write your name and National Insurance number on the back of each one
Your details:
- Your full name and any other names you use
- Your address

For each child you are applying for:
- Their full name
