  1. Section 2a has been amended to confirm the definition of an overseas lawyer and section 4 has been amended to clarify that a colour photo is required.

  2. We are making a couple of minor amendments to the form as a result of the amendment to form ID3 and the withdrawal of form ID4. We are also amending panel 4 to clarify that, if the application is being lodged electronically, a scan of both sides of the photo also need to be lodged.

  3. Form ID1 has been amended as we have agreed with the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) that CLC-regulated licensed probate practitioners can verify identity even though they may not be conveyancers or solicitors.

  4. We have amended the form as we have decided to continue with the practice we introduced in May 2020 as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19).
