Form: National Insurance: apply for a portable document A1/E101 if self-employed in European Economic Area (CA3837)

Updated: Information about completing forms CA3821 and CA3822 if you're a director of your own limited company has been added.

Use this form if you’re normally self-employed in the UK and going to work temporarily in another country within the European Economic Area (EEA). This form will enable HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to determine which member state’s social security legislation will apply.

If you’re a director of your own limited company you should complete forms CA3821 and CA3822.

You may need to give HMRC additional information to support this form.

Before you start using the postal form

If you’re using an older browser, for example Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers.

You’ll need to fill in the postal form fully before you can print it. You can’t save a partly completed form so you should gather all your information together before you start to fill it in.
