How Do I Get an ID1 Form ID Verification?
Get Your ID1 & ID5 Online ID Verify with Parachute Law — Fixed Fee £99 INC VAT
If you're involved in a UK property transaction or land registry application without legal representation, you may be asked to complete an ID1 Form. This form verifies your identity for HM Land Registry and is a legal requirement for many types of unrepresented applications.
The good news? You no longer need to visit a solicitor's office to get your ID verified.
Parachute Law offers a fully online ID1 and ID5 verification service for just £99 including VAT — fast, compliant, and hassle-free.
What Is the ID1 Form?
The ID1 Form is issued by HM Land Registry and is used to confirm the identity of individuals involved in property or land-related transactions without legal representation.
It’s required for transactions such as:
- Transfers of property (gift or sale)
- Registering leases
- Name or address changes on the Land Register
- Adverse possession applications
- Probate and inheritance transactions
If you’re not using a solicitor or conveyancer for your land registry application, you'll likely need to complete an ID1 Form and have it verified by an approved professional.
What About the ID5 Form?
The ID5 Form is an additional document used when identity verification is conducted via video call (instead of in person). It works alongside the ID1 Form and must be submitted with your application to confirm that your identity was verified remotely.
Parachute Law handles both forms as part of their online service — so you don’t have to worry about managing this yourself.
How Do I Get an ID1 Form ID Verification?
Getting your ID verified for HM Land Registry is simple with Parachute Law’s online ID verification service. Here’s exactly how it works:
Step 1: Complete the ID1 Form Online
You fill out your ID1 Form digitally on your own — no printing, posting, or scanning necessary at this stage. You don’t need to send a hard copy, original documents, or passport-sized photos to Parachute Law.
Step 2: Send a Scan or Photo of Your ID
You’ll need to provide a clear scan or photo of one of the following:
- Your passport
- Your UK photocard driving licence
Don’t have either of these? No problem — Parachute Law’s FAQ section provides guidance on acceptable alternatives, or you can contact their team directly.
You can scan your ID using a printer or simply take a clear photo on your phone — it’s that easy.
Step 3: Attend a Zoom Video Call
Next, a short Zoom video call is scheduled with a solicitor at Parachute Law. This remote meeting replaces the traditional face-to-face appointment and is fully compliant with HM Land Registry’s ID verification rules.
During the call, the solicitor confirms your identity, checks your documents, and completes the verification.
Step 4: Receive Your Completed ID1 and ID5 Forms
Once verified, Parachute Law will:
- Complete Section B of the ID1 Form
- Complete the associated ID5 Form confirming video verification
- Email the documents to you in colour, ready to print at home
If you’d prefer to receive physical copies, you can opt to have them posted by Special Delivery for an additional fee when you book.

What Happens After You Receive Your Forms?
Once you receive your verified ID1 and ID5 forms, it’s your responsibility to include them in your Land Registry application. HM Land Registry does not accept these forms on their own — they must be submitted along with your main application.
For example, you might be sending them with:
- TR1 – Transfer of Whole
- AP1 – Application to Change the Register
- AS1 – Transfer of Property as Beneficiary
- ADV1 – Adverse Possession
Can I Use Parachute Law’s ID Verification If I’m Overseas?
Yes — in many cases!
As long as you:
- Hold a valid UK passport or driving licence
- Have access to Zoom or video calling software
- Can send high-quality photos or scans of your ID
…you can usually complete the ID1 and ID5 process from abroad. This is especially useful for UK expats or those temporarily living overseas.
If you're unsure, contact Parachute Law before booking to confirm eligibility.
What If I Don’t Have a Passport or Driving Licence?
Parachute Law can still help. They provide guidance on what alternative ID documents may be accepted, depending on your situation.
Options may include:
- Birth certificates
- Government-issued ID cards
- Utility bills or bank statements for proof of address
Check their FAQs or speak with their team directly to find out what's needed in your case.
