Official numbers

Government department phone numbers

Numbers that 177 government organisations publish on GOV.UK, HMRC’s contacts grouped by 91 topics, and 82 departments whose numbers we checked by hand on their own pages.

Also see police numbers and court and tribunal numbers.

A genuine number can still be a scam call

Scammers use phone spoofing, which falsifies caller ID so that a call can appear to come from a trusted government department when it does not. Banks and the police will never call you to verify your PIN, and will not ask you to withdraw money or buy or send items for an investigation. If you get a call like this, hang up. HMRC will never ask you to pay with gift or payment vouchers, and will never threaten arrest or leave a voicemail threatening legal action. If you are not sure a call was genuine, hang up and contact the organisation on a number you have found yourself, such as on GOV.UK or a letter from it. Do not use a number the caller gives you.

How scams that copy government bodies work

HMRC lists the versions it sees most: an automated call saying HMRC is filing a lawsuit against you and asking you to press 1, calls about "National Insurance number fraud", and calls or texts offering a tax refund in return for bank or card details.

UK Visas and Immigration says criminals call people, often students, about a "serious problem" with their visa and demand money quickly by money transfer.
