This will become our standard service for application submission through the HM Land Registry portal in November 2022 and can already be used to submit a wide range of applications to change the register.

The Digital Registration Service makes it easier to submit applications and reduce common errors by:

• automatically working out the fees
• comparing information with the Land Register as you enter it to check for errors
• providing guidance and prompts on screen to remind you to add the required evidence
• automatically populating some fields based on data already entered, or from the Land Register
• prompting you if more information or supporting evidence is required to support your application
• allowing you to save a partially completed application, and return to it within 90 calendar days to submit
