I am a UK citizen, resident in Canada. I want to add my Canadian wife to the title deed of my residential property in the UK. Which ID forms do we need to use to verify our identities? Can this be done here in Canada?

Graham - see PG 67 section 8.6 for guidance - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evidence-of-identity-conveyancers">Evidence of identity (PG67) - GOV.UK</a>

Hi Adam, it's not clear how non-residents can be identified. Can you explain how to do this?

Hi Graham - how is it unclear?<br> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;"><b>8.6 Verification of identity of persons resident overseas</b></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;">Where a person is resident overseas and it is not possible for their identity to be verified by a UK conveyancer, section B of the form ID1 or form ID2 should be completed and signed by a lawyer or notary public qualified to practice in the person’s country of residence. The form must be accompanied by written evidence of the lawyer’s or notary’s authority to practice in their jurisdiction. If the evidence is not in English or Welsh, it must be accompanied by a certified translation into English or Welsh.</span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif;">Form ID1 or ID2 will always be required.</span></span><br>
