The ID for the solicitor is different compared to the ID1 form (see attached) required by the Land Registry. Where a person is resident overseas and it is not possible for their identity to be verified by a UK conveyancer, section B of the ID1 should be completed and signed by a lawyer or notary public qualified to practice in the person’s country of residence. The form should be amended to include confirmation of the country in which the lawyer or notary public is qualified to practice, confirmation that they are so qualified to practice and the name and address of the body with which they are registered to practice.
