Legal Services for ID1 Proof of Identity Form

HM Land Registry requires individual people who are not professional conveyancers to prove their identity on an ID1 form, before being willing to accept submissions from them.
It is usually cheaper and easier in our experience to instruct a professional conveyancer to act for them, rather than bothering with an ID1. If you are not a conveyancer or solicitor, you will generally pay considerably larger HMLR fees, and you will face rather complicated legal processes with some risk attached.
Nevertheless, if the individual person wants us to certify their ID1 for them, we are happy to do so. You’ll need to bring your completed form, a passport-type photo of yourself, and your passport to our offices, for us to complete and endorse. HM Land Registry will check in with us when you submit your form to them to confirm our endorsement is genuine.
In a landscape where property transactions can be filled with challenges, our solicitors serve as your trusted allies, providing you with the knowledge, expertise, and assurance needed to navigate the complexities of the ID1 Form – and the broader property market.
