If a trading partner submits a Full Payment Submission (FPS) or an Employer Alignment Submission (EAS) and an employee included within either of these messages cannot be matched on the HM Revenue & Customs database, an 'unsolicited' National Insurance number notification will be triggered. This will be in the format of the NVREP message and will be sent to the trading partner submitting the FPS or EAS.
There is no paper equivalent of the NVREP message. It is therefore vital that any trading partner using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software to submit the FPS and/or the EAS also has the ability to receive the NVREP message.
