If you want to find or check an employee’s National Insurance number, you can do so by sending a NVR.
You cannot send a NVR until 2 weeks after sending your first FPS.
It will not generate a new National Insurance number. If your employee has never had a National Insurance number please ask them to contact the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP) Contact Centre on telephone: 0345 600 0643.
