ID Verification

ID Verification

Easily complete your ID1 Verification with an SRA-regulated solicitor from the comfort of your own home, enabling you to submit your verified documents to HM Land Registry quickly and hassle-free.

An ID1 form is an official identity verification document required by HM Land Registry (HMLR) during property transactions—such as buying, selling, transferring equity, or registering a mortgage charge—particularly when you do not have a local conveyancer acting for you. It serves as a vital safeguard against property fraud by officially proving your identity.

Clarity Law Direct is a legal matching and introductory service, not a law firm. All identity verification certifications, video consultations, and official signing of HM Land Registry Form ID1 are conducted independently by SRA-regulated partner solicitors.

Answer to Most commonly asked Questions?
FAQs
What is an ID1 form, and why do I need it?

An ID1 form is a mandatory document required by HM Land Registry to verify your identity when you are dealing with property transactions (like buying, selling, or transferring equity) and do not have a conveyancer representing you. It prevents property fraud by proving you are who you say you are.

How does a remote ID1 verification work?

Instead of traveling to an office, you meet with our solicitor over a secure video call. The solicitor will look at you, verify your live face against your uploaded photo ID (such as a passport), check your proof of address, and complete the official form on your behalf.

Can I do this video call if I am currently outside the UK?

No. To satisfy Land Registry compliance rules, you must reside in the UK and be physically present inside the UK at the time of your video call appointment.

What documents do I need to prepare?

You will need one valid government-issued photo ID (like a UK driving licence or passport) and two separate proofs of address issued within the last 3 months (such as a utility bill, council tax statement, or bank statement).

How do I receive my completed ID1 form?

Once the solicitor completes the video verification and signs the document, your certified ID1 forms will be securely posted directly to your current verified UK home address.

How long is a completed ID1 form valid for?

An ID1 form is valid for exactly 3 months from the date it is signed by the solicitor. You must submit it to HM Land Registry within this 3-month window.
