how to get a national insurance number without proof of address

[wijcc]

My friend is from france, they have moved to uk and is living in a rented room. How does he go about getting a national insurance number so he can get a part time job here in the uk. He doesn't have a uk bank account or any bills etc to prove his address?
Does anyone know how he can get another this, how to get a proof of address or open a uk bank account without this?
Thanks in advance guys

What were the family told at UK immigration? Would be my answer to their question.

don't know what you mean??? Hes a french national so requires no visa or work permit. What he is having problems with is getting proof of address to open up a bank account or something so have can get a national insurance number
