8Confirmation of identity

When giving effect to a discharge of a registered charge, Land Registry relies on the steps that conveyancers take, where appropriate, to verify the identity of their clients. These checks reduce the risk of property fraud.

Where a person was not represented by a conveyancer, Land Registry requires ‘evidence of identity’ in respect of that person, except where the first alternative in panel 9(2) applies.

‘Evidence of identity’ is evidence provided in accordance with any current direction made by the Chief Land Registrar under section 100(4) of the Land Registration Act 2002 for the purpose of confirming a person’s identity.

If this application is to give effect to a discharge in Form DS1 complete one of the following

I am a conveyancer, and I have completed panel 9

I am not a conveyancer, and I have completed panel 10

Place ‘X’ in the box in the second column if the person or firm who is sending the application to Land Registry represented that party in the transaction. Otherwise complete the details in the third column. If the party is not represented insert ‘none’ in the third column.

Place 'X' in the appropriate box(es).

Insert the name of each unrepresented lender for whom you give this confirmation.

Evidence of identity is defined in panel 8. Full details of the evidence of identity that is required can be found in Practice Guide 67.
