What Is an ID1 Identity Verification Form?

An ID1 form, officially known as the Certificate of Identity for a Private Individual, is a document used by HM Land Registry to establish the identity of an individual involved in certain property and land registration transactions in England and Wales.

The form helps HM Land Registry confirm that the person named in a property transaction is who they claim to be. This is an important safeguard against property fraud, identity theft and unauthorised property transactions.

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. We will then loosely attach the photograph to the form.

An ID1 form may be required in various circumstances, including:

• Property transfers and changes in ownership.
• Property transactions involving individuals who are not legally represented.
• Certain mortgage registrations and discharges.
• Property transfers involving trustees.
• Lease registrations and other land registration applications.
• First registration applications in certain circumstances.

If you have been asked to provide an ID1 form, it is important to ensure that the relevant sections are completed correctly and that your identity is verified by an eligible professional.

Why Do You Need an ID1 Form Verified by a Solicitor?

HM Land Registry has specific requirements regarding identity verification. An ID1 form must be verified by an appropriately authorised professional who meets the relevant requirements.

A solicitor can examine your original identity documents, verify your identity, and complete the relevant certification section of the ID1 form, where authorised and eligible to do so.

Professional ID1 verification helps to:

• Confirm your identity for HM Land Registry purposes.
• Support the property registration process.
• Reduce the risk of identity-related fraud.
• Ensure that the relevant verification requirements are addressed.
• Avoid potential delays caused by incomplete or incorrectly certified documentation.

At Premium Solicitors, we understand the importance of accurate identity verification and aim to provide a professional and reliable service.

You may need Form ID1 if you are not represented by a conveyancer in a transaction involving:

• A property transfer or transfer of equity.
• Registration of a lease or mortgage.
• Discharge of a mortgage.
• Certain first registration applications.

Requirements depend on the application and any applicable exceptions. Check with the person submitting your application whether ID1 evidence is required.

• Any additional evidence requested when booking.

What photographs are required for ID1 verification?

For in-person verification, bring two identical colour passport-size photographs taken within the last three months. They must be printed on photographic paper and clearly show your face.

The verifying solicitor signs and dates the relevant photograph and retains a duplicate for the file. A photograph displayed on your phone does not meet this printed photograph requirement. 

Can I use a driving licence instead of a passport?

Yes, you can use a valid UK driving licence instead of a passport as acceptable identity evidence for your ID1 form. Should I complete my ID1 form before the appointment?

How long is a completed ID1 form valid?

The completed parts must be signed and dated no more than three months before the application is lodged with HM Land Registry.

Arrange verification with your expected submission date in mind. If submission is delayed beyond that period, a fresh form and verification may be required. 

Can I arrange ID1 verification online?

You can book your appointment online, but our London ID1 identity verification service requires in-person attendance.

Does each joint owner need a separate ID1 form?

Where identity evidence is required for multiple individuals, each person needs a separate form and individual verification. One ID1 form cannot cover two joint owners.

Tell us how many people require the service so that appointments and fees can be confirmed. 

What is the difference between ID1 and ID2?

ID1 is for a private individual. ID2 is for a body corporate, such as a company.

Does ID1 verification include conveyancing or legal advice?

No. Our ID1 identity service in London verifies your identity for Form ID1. It does not include advice about ownership, mortgages, tax, transfer terms or the legal effect of your transaction.

Premium Solicitors does not provide conveyancing through this appointment. Arrange any property advice and registration work separately.

Will Premium Solicitors submit my Land Registry application?

Submission is not included in our standalone ID1 verification service.

You or the person handling the registration must submit the completed identity evidence with the appropriate application documents. Confirm those arrangements beforehand so that your form can be used within the required period.

Does ID1 verification guarantee acceptance by HM Land Registry?

No. ID1 addresses identity evidence only. HM Land Registry may make further checks or raise enquiries, and all other application requirements must be met.

Errors in the application or supporting documents can still cause delays or rejection. www.gov.uk

Can I book an urgent ID1 appointment in London?

You can check our online appointment booking system to find out availability for same-day appointments for the ID1 identity verification service at our office in Wimbledon, London. Urgent and same-day appointments depend on availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Where can I download Form ID1?
