ID1 Form Verification - Land Registry Proof of Identity
Expert Legal Advice for Land Registry ID1 Form’s
ID1 Form Certification for HM Land Registry
If you are handling a property matter yourself and need to submit documents to HM Land Registry, our solicitors can help by verifying and endorsing your ID1 form to meet their identity requirements.
When individuals submit applications without a solicitor or conveyancer, HM Land Registry requires them to prove their identity using an ID1 form. This process is designed to reduce the risk of fraud and ensure that all transactions are properly validated.
While it is often easier and more cost-effective to instruct a conveyancer to manage the transaction from start to finish, we understand that some clients prefer to handle matters independently. If you only need help certifying your identity, we’re happy to assist with that part of the process.
To complete your ID1 verification, simply bring your completed form to one of our offices, along with a passport-style photograph and your current passport. We’ll complete the endorsement and confirm the certification directly with HM Land Registry when required.
This service is offered by appointment to ensure prompt assistance and avoid delays in your submission.
To arrange your ID1 certification, contact your nearest Mounteney Solicitors office in Bramhall, Cheadle or Heald Green. We’ll confirm the documents you need and book a convenient time for your visit.

What is an ID1 Form?
An ID1 Form is a legal identity verification document used by HM Land Registry in certain property transactions. It helps confirm that the person buying, selling, transferring, gifting, or dealing with a property is who they say they are. The form is an important safeguard against fraud and is often required when an individual is not represented by a solicitor or conveyancer during the transaction.
An ID1 check forms a key part of this process, as it allows a qualified professional to verify the individual’s identity using official documents such as a passport or driving licence. This helps protect all parties involved and supports the security and integrity of the transaction. Whether you are buying, selling, or acting on behalf of someone else, completing the ID1 Form correctly can be an essential step in meeting Land Registry requirements and avoiding unnecessary delays.
