Human Factors
I was presented the sable for this scheduled flight and was verbally advised that there was no NOTOC [Notice to Captain] for this flight. I acknowledged the no Hazmat on board and could see on the sable NOTOC was a marked no. I departed for ZZZ. During climbout ATC asked for us to contact Dispatch. It was then that we were notified; that Dispatch was just notified; there was in fact NOTOC on board the aircraft. We obtained a list of what and where the items were located. In this case we were carrying Dry Ice. I completed the flight without incident. In ZZZ the NOTOC was presented to me. I signed it and requested it to be placed in the aircraft for me to add to the trip envelope. I attached a picture of the sable and where NOTOC is noted it says no. Cause: It is unknown why I was told there was no NOTOC on board and not handed the NOTOC paperwork. What I do know is that when the cross check was going to be completed I was told there was no NOTOC on board.
During sable cross check my Captain and I were told that there was no NOTOC onboard the aircraft. We closed up the aircraft and sat for another 40 minute waiting for the tug. After that we pushed back; taxied out and entered the runway. Right after takeoff Tower told me to contact Dispatch as soon as possible because they urgently needed to get hold of us. I contacted Dispatch and was told we had actually NOTOC onboard the aircraft in form of 30 kg times 2 of Dry Ice in position 5. Company committed error during sable not informing the crew of contents of load.
Air carrier flight crew reported a communications breakdown between flight crew and ground personnel/Dispatch regrading accuracy of required hazmat documents.
