Evidence of current registration - Self-employed applicants
152. If you are self-employed when you apply, you must provide evidence that you are paying
Class 2 National Insurance (NI) contributions. You may also pay Class 4 NI, but we only need
to see evidence of Class 2 payments.
153. NI contributions may be paid by bill or direct debit, or you may have applied for a small
earnings exception certificate. If you have registered recently you will have a welcome letter.
154. You must provide one of the following documents, according to your individual
circumstances.
If you receive a NI bill:
You must provide the bill from the billing period immediately before the application. This
must be an original document and not a copy.
If your NI is paid by direct debit:
You must provide a copy of your most recent bank statement issued before the
application, showing the direct debit payment of NI to HMRC.
If you have very low earnings and have applied for an HMRC exception certificate:
You should provide an original exception certificate issued by HMRC for the most recent
return date.
If you have recently registered and have not yet paid a contribution:
You should provide the original, dated welcome letter from HMRC containing your unique
Tier 1(Entrepreneur) Policy Guidance version 11/2015 - Page 49
taxpayer reference number.

Class 2 National insurance contributions are paid either annually or monthly via direct debit. You need to check and see if you paid all the necessary NI for this year. Contact HMRC and ask if you need to pay more. If your income is more than a threshold you need to also pay Class 4 NI through your self-assessment (the deadline for submitting self-assessment for 2014-15 is the end of this month ) Make sure your tax affairs are in order before applying for ILR.

Since April 2015, Class 2 NI contributions are no longer taken by Direct Debit and HMRC should have advised you of this by letter or email. The payment will be taken when you submit your SA for 2015/16.

You can get a copy of your self-assessment from your accountant or online if you are filing via HMRC website. Highlight the part where you paid NI.
