How long does a direct rollover into a Vanguard IRA® take?
The complete rollover process generally takes about six to eight weeks—but your part of it is minimal. That’s because Vanguard helps you every step of the way. If you’re not sure what forms you need or how to complete them, a Vanguard® retirement specialist can help. Call us at 800-414-1742. Retirement specialists are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern time. Once we’ve received the necessary forms in good order, we’ll submit them to your former employer. Although most rollovers are completed within two months, it takes longer for some employers.
