• 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 might 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 check the NI number is present and correct and send an appropriate response. You may 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.

RTI notices

You should always check your RTI notices after submitting your payroll information.

You can check for notices from HMRC in your HMRC Mailbox within Sage 50 Payroll, which you can then apply to the relevant employee.
