When required, a National Insurance Number Verification Request (NVR) can be submitted through the RTI utility in BrightPay to HMRC, in order to verify or obtain a National Insurance number for one or more employees.


 

Submitting an NVR to HMRC 
 

To send an NVR to HMRC using BrightPay, simply select 'RTI'  on the menu bar.

1) Click 'New' on the menu toolbar and select 'NINO Verification Request (NVR)':

 

2) Select the employees you want to include in the NVR, then click Create. The contents of the NVR will be displayed on screen. You can export or share the NVR at any time, before or after it has been submitted to HMRC.

3) When ready to submit the NVR to HMRC, click 'Send Now'. 

4) Confirmation details will subsequently appear on screen to indicate that your submission has been accepted by HMRC.

5) Should your submission fail, simply click on the 'Details' button for more information on why your submission has been rejected by HMRC and correct your employee information where required.

Once the NVR has been submitted, HMRC’s response can be viewed through your HMRC PAYE Online service. This will confirm whether the National Insurance number is correct, incorrect, or provide a number where one was not previously available.
