here "to hand" is readily available. You might have seen some people when they reply to a letter, they write your letter to hand, means your letter received. in the bank account they mention the phone number to contact.

it means 'near enough to your hand' so you can pick it up and read the information . So that you dont have to waste time during a phonecall looking for the NI number.

i think the correct grammar of what they meant was "at hand", so just have it ready because you will need it.
