Form RF1 only

Please check whether any solicitors are subject to section 12(1) of the Solicitors Act 1974. If we are aware of solicitors subject to section 12(1) when we pre-print your form, their details are included in Section G; an additional form (RFs12) must be completed before their practising certificate(s) can be issued. This also applies to registered European lawyers (RELs) who are subject to the categories listed in Section G, 7.3.

Form RF3 only

Please do not send RFs12 forms or accountants reports with this form. They must be submitted separately.
