If you dishonestly enter information or make a statement that you know is, or might be, untrue or misleading, and intend by doing so to make a gain for yourself or another person, or to cause loss or the risk of loss to another person, you may commit the offence of fraud under section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006, the maximum penalty for which is 10 years’ imprisonment or an unlimited fine, or both.
Both section A and section B of this form must be completed, dated and signed no more than six months before lodgement of an application with HM Land Registry.
Please note that where the application is being lodged by more than one person, or a party to a transaction comprises more than one person, each one must complete a separate form and produce evidence of their identity.
This form can also be used to provide evidence of identity for:
NOTE 1: This form does not have to be completed for voluntary first registrations unless the title deeds are lost or have been destroyed, or for charges or leases which are merely being noted.
NOTE 2: This form is also not required where the true value of the land to which the transaction relates is not more than £6,000, or if HM Land Registry has issued a facility letter in respect of an individual’s identity.
For exceptions to our requirement for evidence of identity for first registrations where the deeds have been lost or destroyed, please see practice guide 2: first registration of title where deeds have been lost or destroyed.
We are asking for this information to guard against registration fraud. It is important that where an applicant, or parties to a transaction are not represented by a conveyancer or where title deeds have been lost or destroyed, that evidence of identity is produced to enable registration to proceed
You must complete section A. You must then get your identity verified by a conveyancer or a Chartered Legal Executive. If you are having your identity verified in person, you will need to take evidence of your identity with you including two identical colour passport-size photographs taken in the last six months which must be on photographic paper and in which your face is clearly visible. Please see sections B3 and B4 for the types of evidence which will be needed.
If you are having your identity verified by a conveyancer or Chartered Legal Executive by way of a video call, please see practice guide 67A: temporary changes to HM Land Registry’s evidence of identity requirements for further information.
The conveyancer, Chartered Legal Executive or other approved verifier will complete section B of this form (or form ID5 if the verification is by way of a video call). Conveyancers and Chartered Legal Executives may charge a fee to verify your identity.
Members of the UK armed forces serving overseas may also have their identity verified by a serving officer.
Both section A and section B of this form must be completed, dated and signed no more than six months before lodgement of an application with HM Land Registry.
Information about completing this form can be found in:
All of our guides and forms are available on the GOV.UK website www.gov.uk.
We strongly advise that you use these guides. In addition to providing information about this form they also explain how you should complete certain panels of the application form(s) you will also have to lodge.
A conveyancer is someone authorised under the Legal Services Act 2007 to provide legal services relating to conveyancing and land registration and includes solicitors, licensed conveyancers, and conveyancing practitioners authorised by CILEx Regulation to undertake reserved instrument activities and who hold practising certificates. A paralegal cannot verify identity.
Please note that if your application is not in order, including if the wrong forms are used, the application might not be accepted for registration.
If you can’t go to a conveyancer, you should contact Customer Support to discuss whether alternative arrangements are possible. You can contact Customer Support at customersupport@landregistry.gov.uk or by telephoning 0300 006 0411 from Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm.
