I'm in the midst of changing just the name/ownership on the deeds of my
home. I filled in AP1 and AS1 got to the bottom then saw the part about
identification. Despite intending to send them the Probate, the Will
and Deed of Renounciation, it seems to also need an ID1 form completed
to go with it.

The ID1 requires a passport photo and an official signature. One
possible official signatory is a 'Notary Public'. For the purposes of
ID1 = Who or what might be classed as a Public Notary please?

Many of them are also solicitors

I would assume the same as for any other document requiring a Notary Public

Indeed, but solicitors who are not notaries can also provide the
required certification and they are a lot easier to find. And shouldn't
be any more expensive.

Notaries are most useful when you need something certifying for use in a
foreign country where a solicitor might not be recognised.

Really! I was thinking of around £100+ for doing that. A solicitor is
also listed as a suitable signatory.

I think I read somewhere in the AP1/AS1 that if I were to go personally
into the Land Registry office, they could bypass the ID1 need for a
signature. I need to ring the LR on Monday and check on with them.

They only sent out the AP1 and AS1 forms when I rang them to enquire
about the process.

You do have to pay cash!

That's the usual fee for taking an oath (statutory declaration or
affidavit). I suspect it might not apply to the present certificate.

That is what I was charged recently.

The first time I had to get such done, the lawyer did not charge
anything but did point out a charitable donation possibility. He
explained that it was his choice to do that rather than make money for
himself. This was a practice in Glasgow that I happened upon by chance.

Probably because he knows that putting the fiver through the books would
cost more than a fiver!

I rang a couple of local solicitors for a quote. the first said £60,
saying an ID1 would be much more involved than just an ID and signature
the second £30. Then I rang the Land Registry to ask if the ID1 was
necessary in my case and might I just appear at their office with
suitable ID instead.

Their reply was that Probate would be all that was needed, the fee and
the completed AS1 + AP1. The Probate bearing my name, provided all of
the ID required. :-)
