Wrong natinal insurance number

Apologies if in wrong section.

Just noticed tht my national insurance number is wrong on my pay slip. I have checked some from last year it wrong on there also.
I have been in current job for 4-5 years. When i started i gave employer my national imsurance card along with other info so how could it be wrong now.
What is likely to to happen if say it been wrong for a few years?. Bit silly really not something tht catches my my when looking at pay slip everymonth. I will definatly be speaking to employer tomorrow do i need to tell someone else?.

    You need to contact HMRC and get them to look into it. Its possible that you were given a NI Number that was already in use or is just plain wrong.

    Find out from your employer when the 'wrong' NINO has been used from, then contact HMRC on 0845 302 1479 and tell them.
  • It is important to follow this up now, as you could otherwise lose pension credits, which could be very difficult to recover in say 30 years time.
