Form ID1 Identity Verification Service - London

An ID1 form is a document used by solicitors and government bodies like the Land Registry to prove the identity of individuals. It is most often used during property transactions to protect against identity fraud. The Land Registry ID1 Form is used by the Land Registry to verify the identity of any individual in any conveyancing-related transaction, transfer of equity (whether for money or not), or change of registration or charge, etc. Our London-based team of solicitors can verify your identity for the ID1 Form by completing Section B of the ID1 Form. Premium Solicitors are open 7 days a week to provide ID1 form identity verification by one of our solicitors in Wimbledon, London. 

When you visit our office to have your identity verified for the ID1 form, you will need to bring evidence of your identity with you, including two identical colour passport-size photographs taken in the last three months. These photographs must be on photographic paper and clearly show your face. Our solicitor verifying your identity will also sign his/her name on the back of the photograph and add the date. The photograph will then be loosely attached to the form.

Mr Arshad Mahmood is a Solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths at Premium Solicitors Ltd with more than 21 years of Post Qualification Experience (PQE) as a Solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths.

FAQs - ID1 Identity Verification Service

The following are various Frequently Asked Questions about our ID1 Identity Verification Service:

What is an ID1 Identity Verification Form?

An ID1 Form is an official identity verification document issued by HM Land Registry. It is used to confirm the identity of private individuals involved in certain property transactions where they are not represented by a conveyancer. The form helps prevent property fraud and ensures that applications submitted to HM Land Registry are made by the correct person.

When do I need an ID1 Identity Verification?

You may need an ID1 Identity Verification if you are involved in a property transaction, such as:

  • Transferring property ownership
  • Registering a transfer of equity
  • Registering a legal charge or mortgage
  • Removing a charge from a property
  • Registering a lease
  • Making certain applications to HM Land Registry without legal representation

HM Land Registry may require an ID1 Form whenever identity verification is necessary to reduce the risk of fraud.

Who can verify my identity for an ID1 Form?

Your identity can generally be verified by an authorised professional such as:

  • A Solicitor

The verifier must complete the relevant section of the ID1 Form after checking your identity documents.
