A notary public can play an important role in completing Land Registry ID1 verification forms. An ID1 verification form confirms the identity of individuals involved in property transactions. As an alternative to having their identity verified by a conveyancer or solicitor, a person can have a notary public perform this service as an independent, legally recognised professional.
During the verification process, the notary must meet the individual in person, review original identification documents such as a passport and proof of address, and ensure the person’s likeness matches the provided ID. The notary then completes and signs the ID1 form, applying their official seal to confirm authenticity. This verification helps prevent fraud and ensures the integrity of property transfers or applications involving the Land Registry.
As impartial officers bound by strict legal and ethical standards, notaries provide an essential safeguard in maintaining trust and security within the property registration process.
