Yes, a parent or guardian can apply online for children aged 5-15, but young people aged 16-21 should apply for the National Entitlement Card (NEC) themselves. They have the option to use the online platforms available for their application.
Here’s a quick overview of the application process:
| Age Group | Application Process |
|---|---|
| 5-15 years | Parent or guardian applies on their behalf |
| 16-21 years | Apply themselves using online options |
