Stamp Duty on Shared Ownership

Hi all. I completed on my purchase of SO property in February 2021.
I know I'm exempt from paying stamp duty due to the SDLT holiday and purchasing less than 80%   but should i still receive some sort of certificate?
I opted to pay up front for future shares (still £0 as i purchased during the sdlt holiday). But not sure if i should be getting some sort of confirmation from the Land Registry.

Thanks in advance

    You / your conveyancer should have filed a land transaction return and received an SDLT5 certificate from HMRC.  The SDLT5 certificate goes to the Land Registry in order to register your ownership.

    Thank you.  I'll check with my solicitor tomorrow as there was a cost on my completion statement for this and registering with land registry. Just wasn't sure if i should be getting the certificate
