What is an ID1 form for applying to HM Land Registry?
An ID1 form is an important document that acts as a way to confirm someone’s identity when they are applying to HM Land Registry.
It is usually used when someone is not a conveyancer or representing a UK financial institution, and wants to carry out certain actions.
When do I need an ID1 form?
You will need an ID1 form if you plan on doing the following:
- Purchasing land or property
- Surrendering a lease
- Registration of a lease
- Transfering a lease (whether for any value or not)
- Registration of a mortgage
- Discharge of a mortgage
- Registering a new or previously unregistered property
How do I get an ID1 form and complete it?
First, you will need to download the ID1 form from the Government’s website.
Then, you need to complete section A.
Finally, your identity will need to be confirmed by a conveyancer or someone who is a Chartered Legal Executive. This includes notaries.
You will need to take a passport-sized photo. Also, you will need certain documents to prove your identity, such as a photo ID like a driving licence or a valid passport.
Instead of a photo ID, you can instead take two other documents, such as:
- A bank statement that is less than three months old
- A council tax bill
- Council rent payments
- Mortgage statements
Why you need a Notary Public
Section B of the ID1 form needs to be completed by a valid certifier, who will verify your identity. A Notary Public can do this for you, such as our Notary Public of England and Wales, Nathan Woodcock.
You can arrange to meet our notary at a time and place that suits your needs, due to our convenient mobile notary service.
