In Case Folders created prior to 2022, a single ‘Update Registered Owner Details’ transaction allows changes for any number of registered owners on a single folio.

This transaction has been updated in 2022, allowing updates to any number of owners within up to 10 folios.

Use this transaction to request a change of name or address for any registered owner.
New names you supply here will be available for use in transactions you add to this Case Folder and will appear on any Draft Forms you subsequently generate within the Case Folder.
To request rectification where owner names have been recorded incorrectly on the folio, map or Register (i.e. Names Index) due to Land Registry error, you should use the Rectification of Registry Error transaction.

For each owner to be updated:
•   Enter current registered owner name (exactly as stated on the folio(s))
•   If the name is changing, you will be asked to enter the owner name exactly as it should appear on the folio(s). You will also be asked if the updated name is to stay on the folio, and if the name(s) currently quoted on the folio(s) is/are incorrect because of a change of name consequent on marriage, civil partnership, separation, or divorce.

•   Confirm which folio(s) should be updated for this owner
   When all owner details are added, click ‘Next Page’.
