NI contributions for early retiree

I'm due to retire at 59 and have fully paid up NI and due full state pension when I get to that age.  I know I don't pay NI on my personal pension but do I have to register anywhere for NI credits

    Are you sure that you have not already reached the maximum?

    What exactly is shown on your state pension forecast?

    If you already meet the requirements for the full state pension you don't need further NI, if you so you'll only get NI credits by claiming a welfare benefit.
