The location of the paying parent affects which organisation runs your case. If all your cases involve paying parents who live in Great Britain, you will see this site slightly differently from a receiving parent who has only Northern Irish paying parents. You can check which organisation runs your case by looking at the letters you receive from us. The only difference you need to be aware of when using this site is that British and Northern Ireland cases have different contact details, so make sure you use the contact details for the correct organisation when you contact us.
It can get more complicated if you have separate paying parents from Great Britain and from Northern Ireland. In these cases, we will show branding from the British Child Maintenance Service, but also include alerts to remind you that you have cases run by the Northern Ireland service too.
You won't be told which is which, so you'll need to check your letters from us to find out. The only difference you need to be aware of when using this site is that British and Northern Ireland cases have different contact details, so make sure you use the contact details for the correct organisation when you contact us If you are requesting a SAR, and have cases based in Great Britain AND Northern Ireland, please make two individual requests, one marked GB and one marked Northern Ireland.
