Proof of Identity of Solicitors

Solicitors' requests for certificates must be accompanied by a letter on company letterhead including specific reasons required, for example "Family Law Proceedings", "Probate" or "Estate Administration. If you just say something not very precise like "legal", then this will be insufficient. You also have to state the name of the client for whom the solicitor is acting.

The letter must also be accompanied by a completed application form and a photocopy of your Law Society ID Card or Practising Certificate.

The name of the solicitor handling the enquiry should be written in the Applicant's Details section. Payment must be made with a company or trust cheque, or company credit card.
