Personal or Postal Presentments

Personal or postal presentments by the applicants

Where an application for registration is presented by the applicants themselves (whether in person or by post), rather than by a solicitor acting on their behalf, each applicant is required to complete a Registers of Scotland Identification Form. The Form contains guidance notes for its completion. In the case of a personal presentment at one of the Agency's customer service centres, the applicant's identity requires to be verified by production of original identity documents to a member of Agency staff, or certified in advance by an authorised certifier. If the application is presented by post, the Identification Form requires to be countersigned by an authorised certifier. A list of authorised certifiers appears on the Form.

In all such cases, the registration officer should ensure that the Identification Form has been enclosed and properly completed.
