Can anyone please tell me if there is anywhere I can go and take correct documentation and get this form completed for free?
Many thanks

I don't know of anywhere where you can get this done for free, but you can't find anywhere that does it for free, you can get it and an ID5 form done for £59 by this firm of solicitors: ID1 & ID5 Form Verification for £59 | Online ID1 Solicitors
They use video and a phone app to verify your identity. I used them last month. Going into a local solicitor and paying would be easier, but is likely to cost more.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
The Land Registry do not charge for the identity verification service but a conveyancer or chartered legal executive will.
If you decide to verify your identity through a Land Registry centre, you must submit your application at the same time so ensure that section A of the ID1 form is completed fully. Where the transaction involves more than one party, all related parties must attend the centre at the same time to make their applications.
To use a Land Registry centre, you must contact them beforehand to make an appointment and to check exactly what forms of identification they will accept. Please give 72 hours’ notice when requesting an appointment.Not sure if this is applicable to ID1, or if it still applies:

If this is in relation to transferring a property as part of your duties as an executor, I think the Land Registry will accept the Grant of Probate in place of an ID1 - They did with me a few years back, and told me it was because HM Courts had already confirmed my ID.I suggest giving their help line a call and see if they still accept a Grant of Probate in place of an ID1.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.2 -
There isn’t really anywhere that does ID1/ID5 verification for free. It has to be checked by a solicitor or regulated professional, and they usually charge a fee for the service.
Your cheapest options are normally local high street solicitors or conveyancers, so it’s worth ringing a few to compare prices.

Do you not think that after three years they might have solved their problem?
