Conveyancing documents signed to HM Land Registry standards
Frequently Asked Questions
What are conveyancer-certified eSignatures?
The HM Land Registry now accepts eSignatures for several documents related to its property dealings, which are known as conveyancer-certified eSignatures. They are accepted by the Registry as long as certain requirements are met, including the following:
- The conveyancer must provide the Land Registry with a certificate concerning the signature.
- The signing requires the use of a platform like eSign that manages the electronic signing process, including creating an eSignature.
- A conveyancer must represent all parties, including those who are not signing the document.
- The platform must utilise multi-factor authentication as the Land Registry requires signatories and witnesses to have a one-time password (OTP) that is a minimum of 6 numbers.
Why choose eSign for conveyancer-certified signatures?
The eSign platform provides users with advanced security measures and identity verification features to maintain the authenticity and validity of sensitive property documents. Our eSignatures are fully compliant with the Land Registry standards because they are:
- Uniquely linked to and capable of identifying the signer
- Created in a way that ensures the signer retains control
- Linked to the document in a way that subsequent changes to the data can be detected
All interactions through eSign are secured using a 256-bit SSL encryption with anti-tampering controls, malware protection, and more, providing full assurance to users that their data is safe from any and all cyber threats. Each document has a digital certificate and a detailed audit trail, supporting its legal validity with the Land Registry.
What is the process for conveyancer-certified eSignatures?
There are multiple different steps in the Practice Guide 82 process for the Land Registry to accept conveyancer-certified eSignatures, with eSign’s capabilities meeting all the requirements set out. Conveyancers must be responsible for setting up and managing the process through the platform and follow these steps:
- Upload the agreed copy of the document to the platform.
- Populate with the name, email address, and phone number of the signers and witnesses. The details can be populated later by the relevant signatory.
- Highlight the required fields for completing/signing within the document, and confirm who they are to be completed by, and in a specified order (witnesses after the signatories).
eSign can support conveyancers in meeting the standards and ensuring their important legal document transactions are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Can a conveyancing contract be signed electronically?
Yes, as long as it meets the conditions and standards set out by the HM Land Registry.
