2.3 Mercury signatures: application forms and other documents

[Appendix 1](#appendix-1) contains details of the other documents that can be signed by way of Mercury signatures, including prescribed application forms, statements of truth (but not statutory declarations) and various certificates. The following requirements must be met.
The first requirement is that each signatory is represented by a conveyancer (unless the signatory is a conveyancer).
The second requirement is that the steps listed below are followed:
- STEP 1 – A conveyancer emails the document to the signatory. - STEP 2 – The signatory prints the signature page only. - STEP 3 – The signatory signs the signature page and adds the date; they also add their full name beneath their signature if it has not already been added. - STEP 4 – The signatory sends an email to the conveyancer to which are attached the document (Step 1) and a PDF/JPEG or other suitable copy of the signed signature page. - STEP 5 – The conveyancer prepares a single document made up of the document and the signed signature page. - STEP 6 – The conveyancer, or another conveyancer who has satisfied themselves that these steps have been followed, uploads the document to HM Land Registry.
In STEP 5, the combining of the document and signature page to include with the application to HM Land Registry may be done either by their being (i) electronically combined or (ii) printed out and then physically combined. The conveyancer must certify the resulting document as a true copy of the original in the usual way. For this purpose, the ‘original’ is the final version of the document and the signed signature page attached to the email to the conveyancer.
