NI number verification reply (NVREP)

When you submit an NVR, you'll receive a NI number verification reply (NVREP) through PAYE Online. This will let you know what you need to do, which will be one of the following options:

 

• Continue to use the NI number you already have.
• Don't use the NI number you sent because it's wrong.
• Use the NI number contained in this reply in the future for this employee.
• The NI number you've queried is correct.
• Service unavailable - If you receive this response, you'll need to retry the request later.

NI number verification notices (NOT)

You can receive an NI number verification notice (NOT) after you report your payroll information in an FPS. For example, if you've taken on a new employee. HMRC automatically checks the NI number is present and correct and send an appropriate response. You can also receive NOT messages once you've made your EAS to align your data.

The notice will let you know that you need to:

• Continue to use the NI number you already have.
• Stop using the NI number you sent because it's wrong.
• Use the NI number contained in this reply in future for this employee.
