Form ID1- Personally connected verifyer

<p>I would appreciate clarification regarding the completion of Form ID1.</p> <p>If a solicitor is&#160;<strong>personally connected or related</strong>&#160;(e.g. a family member) to the individual whose identity is being verified, but is also a&#160;<strong>qualified conveyancer</strong>&#160;acting in their&#160;<strong>professional capacity</strong>, are they permitted to complete and sign Form ID1?</p> <p>I have reviewed Practice Guide 67, which outlines the requirements for a verifier, but it does not explicitly address whether a personal relationship disqualifies a solicitor from acting as the verifier.</p> <p>Could you please confirm whether such a solicitor can act as the verifier, provided they meet all professional requirements (e.g. SRA number, practising certificate, professional address)?</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your guidance.</p>

Martyn - being a solicitor and family member does not preclude them from verifying a person's identity. They are doing so as a solicitor and PG 67 does not address the point as a result

Thank you this is really helpful
