Verification Code

Q1: I know that subscribers of the previous e-Alert Service could apply for a Verification Code so as to enable them to make application for service renewal or change of particulars by post or courier service or online. If I subscribe to the Property Alert for my property, can I also apply for a Verification Code?
A:

No. Subscribers under the Property Alert (which was launched on 28 January 2019) are no longer given the option to apply for a Verification Code and no new Verification Code will be issued. However, if you wish to apply for service renewal/change of particulars by post/courier service or online, you may still do so. You have to submit the completed application form together with copy of your identification document and an additional document for identity proof to the Land Registry. You may refer to Q19 under "Application for Subscription to the Property Alert" above or the notes in the application forms for subscription to the Property Alert (PDF format)(MS Word format)(Online form) or change of particulars (PDF format)(MS Word format)(Online form) for examples of additional proof of identity. For online application submitted by individual owner, provision of copy of your identification document and an additional document for identity proof as stated above may be dispensed with.

A:

Yes. You may continue to use the Verification Code in making application for service renewal or change of particulars.

Q3: I am a subscriber of the previous e-Alert Service and has opted to switch-over to one-off subscription of the Property Alert.

Q4: I am a subscriber of the previous e-Alert Service. If I have lost the Verification Code previously issued to me, can I request the Land Registry to issue a new Verification Code for me after the launch of Property Alert on 28 January 2019?
A:

No. With effect from 28 January 2019, we no longer issue new Verification Code and we will not accept request for replacement of a lost Verification Code.
