What are ID1, ID2 and ID5 HM Land Registry Forms?

Where buyers and sellers of property in England and Wales have not appointed their own ‘conveyancers’ to handle the legal aspects of a property transaction (transfers, leases, mortgages and first registrations where the land value is £6,000 or more). Following completion of the transaction the appropriate ‘ID’ form need to be completed and submitted as part of the application to the Land Registry.

What is an ID1 Form?

An ID1 form is a document used to verify the identity of an individual involved in a property transaction. It is officially titled ‘the Certificate of identity for a private individual’.

What Is an ID2 Form?

An ID2 form is a document used to confirm the identity of a corporate body, such as a company, involved in a property transaction.   It is officially titled ‘the Certificate of identity for a body corporate’. 

What is an ID5 Form?

The ID5 form is a document used to confirm that identity verification has taken place remotely via video call. For a number of reasons, we do not offer this service.

Required Identification Documents

For the ID1 Form

• Two passport-sized photographs (each taken within the past three months):

• Current valid full passport;

• Current UK, EU, Isle of Man or Channel Islands photocard driving licence (this must not be a provisional licence); or

• Current biometric residence permit issued by the UK Home Office to a non-UK national resident in the UK.

For the ID2 Form

For UK-Companies

• An original company search in respect of the corporation which is dated within the last three months and which confirms that the corporation has not been dissolved; and

• Evidence of the individual’s authority to represent the corporation (board resolutions/minutes passed by the corporation, etc).

For non-UK corporations, similar evidence would need to be provided based on the jurisdiction of incorporation of the corporation.

For both forms we are not in a position to satisfy the HM Land Registry 'Digital Identity Standard' so will need to see you in person with the necessary ID documents.

​

A notary public is a person who has authority as a ‘conveyancer’ to assist with completion of these forms and undertake the verification process.       Certain other professionals, such as solicitors, are permitted, as outlined in Section 9 of HM Land Registry’s Practice Guide 67 or in Form ID3.

Fee of £100.00 for individuals.  For company or business please let us know your requirements and we will advise of our fee.
