Which forms must be used to make an application for first registration of title to land (as prescribed by HM Land Registry)?

• A. FR1 and DL
• B. AP1
• C. TP1
• D. OS1

Answer: (A)

First registrations are initiated with the FR1 form, the main application for first registration, and it is supported by the DL, the Document List that itemizes every document relied on to support the application. FR1 collects the essential details about the land and the applicant to create a new entry in the land register, while the DL ensures the Land Registry can verify the chain of title and the basis for the registration by listing deeds, transfers, plans, and any other supporting documents. This exact pairing is what HM Land Registry prescribes for a first registration. Other forms serve different purposes: AP1 is used in plan-related or map-based registrations, TP1 handles transfers of title, and OS1 is for official searches—none are the standard combination for initiating a first registration.
