Narrative:

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.
