ID1 Identity Verification Service

If you are buying or selling your property, we understand that you may not wish to instruct a Solicitor to act for you. However, you may need to use a professional to complete an ID1 form. At Johnson Astills, our expert solicitors can assist you in completing this form, and in completing the necessary professional components so that the conveyancing process is less stressful than it would otherwise be.

What do you need to do before we can complete the Form?

To assist us, you will need to do the following before your appointment with your solicitor:

  1. Print off the ID1 form and complete Section A with your personal details. Do not complete Sections B and C as these need to be done by one of our solicitors.
  2. Obtain a recent Passport Quality Photo of yourself. This must be on colour and on photographic paper.
  3. Gather your forms of ID

ID

You must bring one of the following with you to your appointment to be verified by our solicitors:

  • Passport
  • Driving Licence
  • Biometric Residence Permit

If you do not have one of the above, you must have two of the following categories. Please note that two documents within the same category would not be sufficient:

  • A credit or debit card, supported by an account statement not three months old
  • A utility bill less than three months old
  • A council tax bill for the current year
  • A council rent book showing the rent paid for the last three months
  • A mortgage statement for the mortgage accounting year just ended
  • A current firearm or shotgun certificate.

The statements listed above must be postal statements. An electronic statement that you have printed will not be sufficient.

Once you have your documents, we will arrange a face-to-face appointment at either our Leicester or our Loughborough Office. This must be face-to-face and cannot be done remotely.

Pricing

Our experienced solicitors would be able to complete an ID1 for you for £300 plus VAT (£360 in total). We will need to open a file for your matter, meet with you, and answer questions from the Land Registry when they deal with your ID1 to confirm that we did in fact meet with you and verify your ID.

To discuss completing an ID1 with our solicitors, please call us at one of our offices in Leicester (01509 610312), or email legal@johnsonastills.com or make an online enquiry.
