The Submit an application API supports the following application types:

Register update
Transfer of part
Depositionary first lease

SOAP migration guide

The structure has changed between the SOAP and REST APIs. Most fields retain their existing names, but some have changed, as noted below:

SOAP Field	REST Field	Comment
ChargeDate	date	Field on the transaction type `Charge`
CompanyName	organisation_name
ConveyancerName	full_name	Field on `OtherConveyancer` object
DisclosableOveridingInterests	disclosable_overriding_interests
CertifiedCopy	certification_statement_type
DXExchange	exchange_name	Field on `DxAddress` object
DXNumber	number	Field on `DxAddress` object
Product.Email	email	Field on `ApplicationLodger` object
EmailAddress.Email	email	Field on `Address` object, where type is `Email`
IsApplicant	applicants[]	Array containing PartyReferences for applicants
NoMDRef	N/A	MDref should not be sent
OverseasTerritory	incorporation_territory
RepresentitiveId	representation_type
RoleType	Role	Field on `PartyRole` object
MessageID	Idempotency-Key	Idempotency-Key is a HTTP Header

Submit an application

To submit an application request, make a HTTP POST request to the application request endpoint, the body of which contains the information about the application using the application/json content type. The data in the body content contains:

Addresses
Documents
Parties
Transactions
Titles

The API specification describes the structure of the request payload in detail.

This endpoint will return an object containing a unique ID for the request, application_request_id, which is then used when fetching the status of the application. Any errors in the schema will be rejected as a 400 HTTP error. Any other validation errors will be returned in the application information response.

As well as the definition of each transaction/document, we have also provided a mapping, showing the required documents for each transaction type. There are three categories of documents that can be uploaded for a transaction:

Compulsory - This document is required for the transaction type
Either - At least one of the documents marked as ‘Either’ must be submitted with the transaction
Suggested - These documents are not required, but are commonly attached alongside the transaction

For example, for an ADV1 transaction type, the following documents need to be uploaded:

An ADV1 document must be uploaded
At least one of a SOT or STAT_DEC document must be uploaded
COSR, EVIDENCE, PLAN and POA documents are not required, but may help when processing your application

During application submission, validation will be applied for each transaction to ensure the rules regarding the ‘Compulsory’ and ‘Either’ document types have been satisfied correctly:

Change of name / Death of a joint proprietor (DJP)

HMLR will accept Transfers where the proprietor information does not match the register (in the case of a change of name, or a death of a joint proprietor) without needing to specify the relevant transactions, so long as the correct identity documentation has been supplied with the accompanying transaction(s).

To trigger this functionality, the register_action field on the party object can be used. This field has two options:

AMEND - The party information is different to the currently held register information
REMOVE - The party on the register should be removed

Amend

A value of amend will trigger a change of name transaction to be created internally. The party information must be the new proprietor information. Identity evidence must be provided as documents on the Transfer.

Example:

"parties": {
    "party1": {
        "details": {
            "type": "PRIVATE_INDIVIDUAL",
            "forenames": "New",
            "surname": "Doe"
        },
        "register_action": "AMEND",
        "identity_evidence_type": "EVIDENCE",
        "representation_type": "LODGING_CONVEYANCER",
        "addresses": "ADDR1",
        "address_for_service_option": "PROVIDED_ADDRESS"
    }
}

Remove

A value of remove will trigger a DJP transaction to be created internally. The party information must be the existing proprietor information. Identity evidence must be provided as documents on the Transfer.

Example:

"party1": {
    "details": {
        "type": "PRIVATE_INDIVIDUAL",
        "forenames": "existing",
        "surname": "doe"
    },
    "register_action": "REMOVE",
    "identity_evidence_type": "EVIDENCE",
    "representation_type": "LODGING_CONVEYANCER",
    "addresses": "ADDR1",
    "address_for_service_option": "PROVIDED_ADDRESS"
},
"party2": {
    "details": {
        "type": "PRIVATE_INDIVIDUAL",
        "forenames": "jane",
        "surname": "doe"
    },
    "identity_evidence_type": "EVIDENCE",
    "representation_type": "LODGING_CONVEYANCER",
    "addresses": "ADDR1",
    "address_for_service_option": "PROVIDED_ADDRESS"
}

List of validation rules

During application submission, several validation rules will run against the data provided to ensure it is valid.
