• Applying to cancel a home rights notice: continue to use form HR4, but it is now a prescribed form (which means you no longer also have to use form AP1).
• Severance of a joint tenancy: there is a new form (SEV) which may be used to apply for a Form A restriction when there has been a severance of a joint tenancy by agreement or notice (in which case you no longer use form RX1).
• Statements of truth: these have now been introduced as a means of providing evidence to support an application. The statement of truth is signed, but need not be sworn or witnessed and can be used as an alternative to a statutory declaration. Forms ADV2 and CT1 now have statements of truth, rather than statutory declarations; in addition there are four new forms containing statements of truth (ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST4).
• Evidence of identity: there are panels confirming identity that now have to be completed on AP1, FR1 and DS2.
• Issuing documents to a third party: there is no longer the facility to ask the LR to issue documents to a third party on completion of an application.
• Restrictions: the wording of most of the standard restrictions has been amended.

Most practitioners should have received the Action Booklet from the LR (if not, it is available on www.landregistry.gov.uk ).
