What is the expected duration of a RON session?

The expected duration of a Remote Online Notary (RON) session generally varies but is typically a few minutes to half an hour. This timeframe is appropriate because RON sessions usually involve the notary verifying the identity of the signer, ensuring that they understand the documents they are signing, and completing any additional requirements mandated by state law. The whole process is designed to be efficient while ensuring all legal obligations are met. Most transactions do not exceed half an hour as they involve straightforward document review and signing, making this duration reasonable for both parties involved.

While some scenarios may require less than a minute to complete, such instances are not the norm for most documents requiring notarization. Similarly, sessions lasting a few hours would be impractical for standard notarizations and could indicate complications or additional legal matters that fall outside the usual scope of RON services. Thus, the option indicating a duration of a few minutes to half an hour aligns best with the typical nature of RON sessions.
