The time it takes to complete a Signing Request can vary depending on several factors. Generally, once a Signing Request is submitted and all required documentation is in order, the process is straightforward. However, delays can occur if there are issues with the submitted documents.
Typical Timeline
Once a Signing Request is submitted with all correct documentation, AET works promptly to process and obtain the necessary signatures. In most cases, this process can be completed within 3-5 business days.
Common Causes of Delays
The most common reason for delays in completing a Signing Request is incorrectly filled-out documentation. Here are some typical issues that can cause delays:
- IRA Titling Errors: Incorrect or missing account titling information can prevent the request from being processed smoothly.
- Incomplete or Missing Information: If any required fields or documents are missing, the request may be put on hold until these items are provided.
- Incorrect or Invalid Forms: Submitting the wrong version of a form or providing outdated documentation can delay processing.
- Lack of Detailed Instructions: Without clear signing or shipping instructions, AET may need to reach out for clarification, causing additional time delays.
How to Speed Up the Process
To avoid delays and ensure your Signing Request is processed as quickly as possible, make sure all documentation is complete and correct before submission. Double-check IRA titling, verify that all required documents are attached, and provide clear instructions for signing and shipping.
Additionally, you should regularly review the status of your Signing Request via the Online Portal. By checking the status, you can stay informed on its progress and quickly address any issues if your request is placed on hold for correction.
By ensuring your request is accurate from the start and staying on top of its progress, you can help expedite the signing process and avoid unnecessary delays.
