Verification of Identity:
Contents of Form ID1:
Land Registry
Certificate of Identity for a body corporate
Warning: If you dishonestly enter information or make a statement that you know is, or might be, untrue or misleading, and intend by doing so to make a gain for yourself or another person, or to cause loss or the risk of loss to another person, you may commit the offence of fraud under section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006, the maximum penalty for which is 10 years imprisonment or an unlimited fine, or both.
Who needs to complete this form?
- Any person who is not a professional Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor, or who is not a UK bank or building society, who is lodging one of the following applications with Land Registry.
* Transfers (whether or not for value)
* Transfers and deeds relating to the appointment or retirement of trustees;
* Leases (whether or not for value) that are being registered;
* Charges (Mortgages) that are being registered;
* Discharge of a charge in form DS1;
* Release of a charge in form DS3;
* Surrenders of Leases;
* Most voluntary and compulsory applications for first registration where the title deeds have been lost or destroyed;
* All other applications for compulsory first registration completed on and after 10 November 2008
- Any person who is a party to one of the above transactions who is not legally represented where the application is being lodged by someone who is not a Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor;
- Any person who is a party to one of the above transactions who is not legally represented, and although the application is being lodged by a Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor, that Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor is not able to confirm that they are satisfied that sufficient steps have been taken to verify the person's identity.
Please note that where the application is being lodged by more than one person, or a party to a transaction comprises more than one person, each one must complete a separate form and produce evidence of their identity.
Note: This form does not have to be completed for voluntary first registrations unless the title deeds are lost or have been destroyed, or for charges (mortgages) or Leases which are merely being noted. This form is also not required where the true value of the Land / Property to which the transaction relates is not more than £5000, or if Land Registry has issued a facility letter in respect of an individual's identity.
Why do I have to complete this form?
Land Registry are asking for this information to guard against identity fraud. It is important that where an applicant, or parties to a transaction are not legally represented or where title deeds have been lost or destroyed, that evidence of identity is produced to enable registration to proceed.
How do I complete this form?
You must complete section A. You must then get your identity verified by a Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor or personally attending one of the Land Registry customer centres. You will need to take evidence of your identity with you including a recent passport size photograph in which your face is clearly visible.
The Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor or Land Registry staff will complete section B of the form. Please note that the Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor will usually charge a fee.
What should you do if you want Land Registry to verify your identity?
If you plan to visit a Land Registry customer information centre, the Land Registry strongly advise that you telephone first to check that the evidence you intend to produce is sufficient and to make an appointment.
Please note that Land Registry will not verify your identity in advance of you making your application and if Land Registry are unable to confirm your identity the application will be rejected. Please note also, that all individuals for whom verification of identity is required must attend at the same time.
If you cannot go to a Property Lawyer and Conveyancing Solicitor and are not able to attend one of the Land Registry customer information centres to have your identity verified, you need to contact the Land Registry to discuss whether alternative arrangements are possible.
Is this form open to public inspection?
No. This form, and any supporting evidence produced to Land Registry where Land Registry are verifying your identity, is automatically excepted under rule 133 of the Land Registration Rule 2003 (as amended) from the public right of inspection.
Data Protection: Please note though that Land Registry may share data provided in or in connection with the application form for anti-fraud purposes and may carry out checks concerning the information provided.
