regarding the non-entitled spouse would therefore be required. The Form 4 also serves as an acknowledgement and should be submitted in duplicate. The Keeper will return one receipted copy to the applicant. Where  a  transaction  gives  rise  to  two  separate  applications,  as  in  the  example  above,  i.e.  one application  for  the  disposition  (item  8)  and  another  application  for  the  standard  security  (item  9), separate application forms are required, but it is unnecessary to complete two inventories. One Form 4 (in duplicate) will suffice for both, even where separate solicitors are acting. If each solicitor requires an acknowledgement from the Keeper, an additional copy of the Form 4 should be enclosed along with a note of the name and address of the solicitor to whom the extra acknowledgement should be sent. In some instances, there may already exist with the title deeds an inventory of writs in a suitable form for submission with the application. The Keeper will not object if the existing inventory is photocopied and attached to the Form 4, provided the photocopy is legible. Noting on the Land Register - Form 5 5.6  Reference  is  made  in  chapter  2  to  noting  additional  information  on  the  title  sheet  and,  more particularly, noting the existence of, or freedom from, an overriding interest. When a proprietor wishes the Keeper to note a matter on the Register, application should be made on Form 5. Although the Keeper is not bound to give effect to any such application (sections 6(1)(g) and 6(4)(b)(ii)), he will usually comply. The application should be accompanied by the land certificate and such documents as are necessary to support the application, together with a completed Form 4 in duplicate. In practice, except in the case of the noting of an overriding interest, the Keeper is seldom asked to note any  additional  information  (for  which  a  fee  is  chargeable),  except  as  part  of  an  application  for  the registration of a dealing. In this latter case, a Form 5 is unnecessary as each application form allows the applicant to ask the Keeper to note additional matters. Although the forms refer specifically to overriding interests, they can be used to notify other information, e.g. a change of street name. In this case the local authority’s notification should be submitted along with the other evidence supporting the application for registration. The Keeper is under a duty in terms of section 6(4)(a) to note an overriding interest where any of the documents supporting the application for registration discloses the existence of that interest. Application for land or charge certificate to be made to correspond with title sheet - Form 8 5.7 In terms of rule 16(1) and (2), an application can be made to the Keeper for a certificate of title (i.e. a land or charge certificate) to be made to correspond with the relevant title sheet. Application is made on Form 8 and a fee is chargeable. On receipt of a Form 8 application, the Keeper will search the Application Record for details of any outstanding applications which have still to be reflected in the title sheet, and for any entries which have yet to be reflected in the land certificate. A search is also undertaken of the Register of Inhibitions and Adjudications (the ROI, also known as the Personal Register). If no alteration is required and the ROI search is clear, the inside cover of the certificate is stamped with  the  new  date  and  the  certificate  is  returned  to  the  ingiving  agent.  Where  new  information
