Conveyancers can now submit documents signed with a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) tool, HM Land Registry has said
According to the Registry, the QES does away with the need for a third party to witness the execution of a deed, is paperless, simpler and more flexible, and is the most secure form of electronic signature.
Andy Roddy, deputy director of digital services at HM Land Registry, said: ‘This marks another major step forward in our ongoing digital transformation, as we keep pace with—and meet the needs of—our most technologically advanced customers.’
Practitioners interested in using the technology should contact QES@landregistry.gov.uk.
