ID1 form Land Registry

SteveWinSW

Hi 
Is there anyone there who can recommend a solicitor around South West London / Surrey border to verify my ID for this ID1 form ?  Most don't want to do it, and others want to charge £100+   I know some offer this for a nominal charge of around £10. Any help appreciated, thanks

To come within the definition of conveyancer in rule 217A of the Land Registration Rules 2003 an individual must be authorised under the Legal Services Act 2007 to provide conveyancing services; in effect they must have a practicing certificate. If verification is given by a person who has made it clear on the ID form that they are retired or not practising, a requisition is likely to be raised. Paralegals are also unable to verify identity because they do not fall within the rule 217A definition of conveyancer. Some Chartered Legal Executives are not conveyancers, but HM Land Registry has agreed that they can verify identity for Land Registration purposes.

May be cheaper than a solicitor....?

Or go to the LR office in Croydon - that's not far and it's free (provided it stays open.....):

I know not your area... Try Karim & Co Solicitors in Leeds, they charged me £30 for the ID1 form.
But most high street solicitors in Leeds charge £50-£100 as form is quite lengthy (compared to simply signing and stamping) and involves a follow up call from Land registry
