You can check your National Insurance record online at GOV.UK to see:<\/p>\n
what you have paid, up to the start of the current tax year (6 April 2023);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
any National Insurance credits you have received;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
if gaps in contributions or credits mean some years do not count towards your State Pension (they are not ‘qualifying years’); and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
if you can pay voluntary contributions to fill any gaps and how much this will cost.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Your online record does not cover how much State Pension you’re likely to get.<\/p>\n
To check your National Insurance record, you’ll need to sign into your personal tax account using your Government Gateway user ID and password.<\/p>\n
If you do not have a personal tax account, you will need a Government Gateway user ID and password to set up a personal tax account. If you do not already have a user ID, you can create one when you sign in for the first time.<\/p>\n
You will also need your National Insurance number or postcode and two of the following:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a valid UK passport;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
a UK photocard driving licence issued by the DVLA (or DVA in Northern Ireland);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
a payslip from the last three months or a P60 from your employer for the last tax year;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
details of a tax credit claim if you made one;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
details from a Self-Assessment tax return in the last two years, if you made one; or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
information held on your credit record if you have one (such as loans, credit cards or mortgages).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other ways to apply<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can request a printed National Insurance statement:<\/p>\n
online, if you live in the UK<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
online or by post if you live abroad<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
by phone<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
You will need to say which years you want your statement to cover. You cannot request statements for the current or previous tax year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can also write to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).<\/p>\n
