Identity evidence for Land Registry

In force from 4 December 2008

From 24 November 2008 the Land Registry requires most applicants to give details of the conveyancers acting for all the other parties to the transaction and, where a party is unrepresented, to provide evidence of that party's identity. The requirement has been introduced to help combat fraud.

This practice note provides advice on managing the process and highlights areas of risk.
