Land Registry ID1 Form Verification

Courtyard Solicitors offer a verification service for those required to complete the Land Registry ID1 form.

The Land Registry ID1 form is required information to protect against registration fraud.

In certain circumstances where an applicant, or parties to a transaction are not represented by a conveyancer, or where title deeds have been lost or destroyed, your evidence of identity is required to enable the registration to proceed.

In order to complete the Land Registry ID1 Form, you will need to get your identity verified by a conveyancer, a Chartered Legal Executive or by personally attending one of the HMRC customer information centres.

You will need to take evidence of your identity with you including a colour passport-size photograph taken in the last three months which must be on photographic paper and in which your face is clearly visible. 

If you want to have your identity checked by Courtyard Solicitors, you will need to take two identical passport-size photographs which are less than three months old,we will then complete section B of this form.

1. Current valid full passport
2. Current United Kingdom, EU, Isle of Man, Channel Islands photocard driving licence (not a provisional licence)
3. Current Biometric Residence Permit issued by the UK Home Office to a non-UK national resident in the UK
