Northern Ireland charity number prefixes

From user

you mentioned that the service requires for NI charity numbers to be pre-pended with ‘NIC’. I’m afraid to say this runs contrary to how we record NI charity numbers (without the NIC) and the file required a bit of tweaking to make it work. I know that CCNI records charity numbers without the NIC and the Find that charity search works in a similar way (although the URLs for relevant charity pages all contain the ‘NIC’, oddly enough – e.g. https://findthatcharity.uk/charity/NIC100012). We actually have a data cleansing routine to remove ‘NIC’ from charity numbers too. It’s not the end of the world – it just adds an extra step to the process.
