How long does a notarization take?

Quick Answer

A standard notarization takes 5-15 minutes for one or two documents. Loan signings take 45-90 minutes. RON sessions typically take 10-15 minutes.

The time needed for notarization depends on the type and number of documents:

  • Standard notarization (1-2 documents): 5-15 minutes
  • Multiple documents or signers: 15-30 minutes
  • Loan signing package: 45-90 minutes (purchase closings take longer than refinances)
  • Remote online notarization: 10-15 minutes including identity verification
  • Estate planning documents: 15-30 minutes depending on the number of instruments

To keep your appointment as quick as possible, prepare in advance:

  • Have your valid photo ID ready
  • Do not sign the documents beforehand if they require a jurat
  • Know which sections need notarization
  • Bring all parties who need to sign
