Hi Priya!

There's no option to check the status. Usually they send NI number along with a letter earlier than NI card. Did you get that one? And it take 2 to 3 months to get NI Card. So hopefully you'll get card 1st week of new year.

Moreover you can contact with your nearest JobCentrePlus with your proof of ID and Address.

Thanks
