What is an ID1 FORM?1

An ID1 Form is a certificate that certifies the identity of a private individual (use 1D2 Form if it is a corporate body) . It is usually needed in property transactions to protect against identity fraud.  For example, the HM Land Registry requires ID1 in lodging registration application of the following types of transactions:

​

  • The transfer of land or transfer of a mortgage 

  • The transfer, surrender or grant of a lease

  • The registration or discharge of a mortgage

  • Compulsory first registration

  • Change of name by deed poll, statutory declaration or statement of truth

  • Change of address

​

​

How to complete an ID1 Form?

The Form is divided into 2 sections. You should complete Section A before bringing the Form to us. We will then certify your identity by completing Section B.  If your transaction comprises more than one person, each one must complete a separate ID form and produce evidence of their identity.  Once the Form is dated and signed, it is valid for 3 months only.
