How many ID2 forms for one company?

The company in question is the freeholder (which happens to be the lessees' management company).<br> An individual person is extending his lease (i.e. a new lease being granted) at nil premium, and the lessee is represented by a solicitor.&#160; This is the situation for the two flats which he owns in this block.<br> The freeholder company is NOT represented, hence ID2 required, possibly for each transaction/lease.<br> The solicitor has stated that &quot;We will need two separate ID2 forms for each Flat&quot; - presumably because each lease is being signed&#160;by 2 directors of the freeholder company, but who are not themselves parties to the transactions.<br> Please can you confirm that only ONE ID2 is required (in relation to each new lease)?<br> And, indeed, that the individual officer of the company (whose identity is being verified with the ID2) does not even need to be one of those who actually signs the new lease?<br> Many thanks.

Ronald - the first thing to state is that it's the solicitor who is requesting the forms at this stage and that may not be solely for registration purposes.<br> The second thing is that our guidance re identity verification is set out in PG 67 and explains what we require on submission of the application to register -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evidence-of-identity-conveyancers">Evidence of identity (PG67) - GOV.UK</a>&#160;<br> Form ID2 is used to verify the identity of the person representing the company and that would usually be a single person - see&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/completing-forms-id1-and-id2">Completing forms ID1 and ID2 - GOV.UK</a>&#160;for examples<br> Identity verification in form ID2 is not linked directly to the names of those who execute a deed on behalf of the company&#160;

Many thanks for your VERY prompt (and helpful) response!!!!!
