Form ID1 Verification Service

If you need to register a document or property transaction with HM Land Registry without a conveyancer, you will need an ID1 form verification as part of the conveyancing process. 

The form ID1 is specifically used for verifying identity in property transactions, especially when verifying the identity of parties not legally represented.

We have designed our service to make this process as straightforward and efficient as possible.  Come to our office or do it online form the comfort of your own home! 

Here’s everything you need to know about ID1 verification.


What Is ID1 Verification?

Don't have a solicitor or conveyancer working for you?

If you do not have legal representation, you must complete the ID1 form yourself.

This is where an approved professional such as a solicitor or Notary verifies your identity. 

You can do your form ID1 in person, or entirely online using video conferencing and this is where we complete ID5 supplementary to form ID1. 

Both forms ensure that we properly verify your identity. 

Individuals must provide evidence of their identity during this verification process.

This meets the Land Registry's requirement for a professional to have finished the task. The professional can be a notary public, solicitor, chartered legal executive or conveyancer.

Conveyancers must be authorised under the Legal Services Act 2007 to provide conveyancing services and can charge a fee for the verification service.

How to obtain an E-Apostille

When is ID1 Verification Required?

ID1 verification is necessary in various situations, including:

  • When a property is being transferred or sold

  • When a mortgage is being taken out or redeemed

  • When a lease is being granted or assigned

  • When a property is being gifted or inherited

In essence, ID1 verification is required whenever a property transaction involves an individual who is not legally represented. This ensures that all parties involved in the transaction are properly identified, reducing the risk of fraudulent activities.

Completing the ID1 Form

The ID1 form is a straightforward document that requires individuals to provide essential personal details, such as their name, address, and date of birth.

Additionally, individuals must provide proof of identity, such as a valid passport or driving license.

The form is divided into two sections:

Section A, which must be completed by the individual, and Section B, which must be completed by a conveyancer, Chartered Legal Executive, or HM Land Registry officer.

This collaborative effort ensures that the information provided is accurate and verified by a qualified professional.

The verification process involves a conveyancer, Chartered Legal Executive, or HM Land Registry officer verifying the individual’s identity and confirming the accuracy of the information provided on the ID1 form.

This process typically includes a video call or an in-person meeting, during which the individual’s identity documents are thoroughly checked and verified.

This step is crucial to ensure that the identity verification meets the Land Registry’s stringent requirements, providing peace of mind for all parties involved in the property transaction.

Documents Required for ID1 Verification

To complete ID1 verification, individuals typically need to provide the following documents:

  • A valid passport or driving license

  • A recent utility bill or council tax bill

  • A bank statement or proof of address

  • A passport-sized photograph

In some cases, additional documents may be required, such as proof of a name change or further proof of address.

It is essential to check with the conveyancer or HM Land Registry officer to determine the specific documents needed for your ID1 verification.

By ensuring you have all the necessary documents ready, you can streamline the verification process and avoid any delays.
