Form CF83 Bank Details

I've been waiting to hear back since the beginning of October regarding how much the contributions will be for some gaps in my NI record. I've lived in the USA since 1988 and am self-employed so I understand I'll be Class 2? Should I wait to hear back before I submit Form CF83? Also, on the form it request bank details. Since I no longer have a UK bank account, should I give my overseas account details or can I arrange the payment through WISE? Thanks so much!

Hi,

Unfortunately, we cannot establish eligibility to pay National Insurance contributionss (NICs) on a voluntary basis from outside of the UK, nor which rate they can be paid at without completion of form CF83. We would therefore urge you to complete this as quickly as possible.  

We are unable to collect NICs from non UK bank accounts, so if you do not have a UK bank account, please leave the bank details section blank and once eligibility has been confirmed we will issue a bill annually.

Due to the volume of work currently on hand, at present the turnaround on form CF83 is 44 weeks.

Thank you.
