HMLR updates guidance on completing evidence of identity panels on forms AP1, FR1 and DS2
HM Land Registry (HMLR) has updated its guidance on completing the evidence of identity panels on forms AP1, FR1 and DS2. A new section entitled Evidence of identity you must provide has been added to clarify the types of supporting identity evidence required for applications for registration, including the use of forms ID1, ID2, ID3 and ID5, rule 17 identity evidence and applicable exceptions set out in Practice Guide 67—Evidence of identity. The guidance has also been amended to reflect HMLR’s current identity policy, including the requirement for personal representatives who assent or transfer land to provide evidence of identity, and to clarify how the confirmation of identity panels on forms AP1, FR1 and DS2 should be completed where no conveyancer is acting.
