PAYE55030 - Employer returns: RTI submissions: NVR: NINO verification request

From April 2012, an employer who is within RTI will have the ability for new employees only to submit a NINO Verification Request (NVR) to allow them to either verify a NINO, or to obtain a NINO for the Employee Designatory Details supplied on the NVR.

Note: The use of the NVR is not mandatory.

The request should only be submitted when an employer has taken on a new employee and is required to verify or obtain the employee’s NINO. The submission will include employee data to enable verification of the NINO as follows

• Surname or family name
• Forename or given name
• Initials
• Second forename
• Date of birth
• Current gender
• Address

NVR can be submitted using the following filing methods

• EDI Channel
• Internet Channel - using commercial payroll software or HMRC free software

An FPS must be processed before an employer can submit an NVR.

Note: A submission can contain between one and a hundred employee NINO requests.
