what documents are required - sole trader

[cappachino]

If you were self-employed you must provide one of the following:
i) Original welcome letter from HMRC: If you registered as self-employed you will have
received a welcome letter from HMRC containing your unique taxpayer reference
number. The original, dated document should be provided.
ii) An Exception Certificate from HMRC: If you took advantage of the HMRC exception
provision you will have received a certificate. The original, dated document should be
provided.
HMRC will issue the welcome letter or the exception certificate at any time up to six weeks from
the date of first contact with a self-employed worker. We will accept a letter or certificate that is
dated up to eight calendar months from your specified date. For example, if your grant of leave is
dated 1 May 2011, the letter or certificate must be dated on or before 30 December 2011. If your
letter or certificate is dated more than eight calendar months after your specified date we will not
consider it.
iii) A National Insurance (NI) bill from the HMRC dated in the 6 months after the specified
date. This must be an original document and not a copy.
iv) Your bank statement dated in the 6 months after the specified date, showing the direct
debit payment of NI to HMRC.

@ cappachino, the requirement states one of the listed documents and since you have your welcome letter from HMRC with your UTR no it should be sufficient for you.

Also you don't need to wait for HMRC letter to pay your NI, you can call them and pay it voluntarily so that you can get additional document.

Hi
You can call NI and ask for the NI bill or the weekly payment is fixed you can calculate for 6 months and pay through bank so you can show in the bank statement.
