To Send a NINO Verification Request (NVR) to HMRC

This submission verifies an employee’s National Insurance number. NVRs can only be sent two weeks after the first FPS has been submitted for a PAYE scheme. Up to one hundred employees can be included in the same submission. Each employee's address is also included.

Creating & Submitting Submission Files

The creation and submission of RTI files is done in two steps:

  1. The file is created in Opera.

  2. The file is submitted to the Government Gateway from Pegasus Online Filing Manager. If Pegasus Online Filing Manager is installed on the same computer you can run it directly after creating the file. The respective submission wizard will then be opened automatically in Pegasus Online Filing Manager.

  1. Open the Payroll folder and then click RTI Submissions or click the Payroll & HR tab on the Ribbon Bar and then click Payroll - RTI Submissions.

  2. Click NINO Verification Request.

  3. If you are using groups, in the Select Payroll Groups list, click to select the group(s) you want to process and then click OK.

  4. On the first page, choose the Report Only option to print a report with NVR details or choose the Create NVR and Report option to create an NVR file to submit to the Government Gateway using Pegasus Online Filing Manager.

  5. Under NVR Details, choose one of the following:

  1. Select the Only include those selected employees that have a blank NINO box if required. This option works together with the radio buttons above. For example, if you selected the Only allow selection of new starters in this period box and tick this box, only new starters with blank NINOs can be selected on page two.

    Example: if you want to send NVRs for all new starters in this period who do not have a National Insurance Number, and want to have these employees displayed automatically, select these options:

    - Only allow selection of new starters in this period
    - Only include those selected employees who have a blank NINO
    - Automatically add employees to the list

  1. The second page is where you select the employee records. If the Automatically add employees to the list option on page one was not selected, press F4 in the Employee Ref. box and select the record or enter either part or all of each employee's reference.

    Click Next.

  2. The third page summarises the number of new starters, leavers in the current period and current employees in the NVR. Check the information on the screen to make sure the details are correct.

  3. Click Start. Then submit the file to the Government Gateway using Pegasus Online Filing Manager. You can do this straight away or at another time using the Online Filing Manager option on the RTI Submissions menu. The latest version of Pegasus Online Filing Manager  must be installed on the computer.

The Submission Information form (Payroll - RTI Submissions) displays details about the most recent Full Payment Submission, Employer Payment Summary and NINO Verification Requests.
