You have passed the PMP exam and are now wondering how long it takes to get the PMP certificate.
According to the PMI, you’ll receive your certificate package within eight weeks if you pass the PMP certification exam.
This package will include a hard copy of your PMP certificate.
When I passed my PMP Certification Exam, I was informed immediately via the computer screen that I would receive my certificate package within eight weeks.
I received it in the third week.
In my PMI-RMP test, I saw a message on the screen that I would receive my certificate package within six weeks (but in an e-mail from the PMI, they mentioned I would receive my certificate package within eight weeks; I don’t know the reason for this discrepancy).
However, I got my PMI-RMP Certificate in less than three weeks.
Summary
Though the PMI says that you will receive the hard copy of your PMP certificate within four to eight weeks, in most cases, I know professionals have received it within four to six weeks. If you do not receive it within eight weeks, contact PMI customer care to issue a new certificate.

Hello George, I live in Kuwait.
Its been 4 weeks from the day I passed my PMP exam and there is no news from PMI on the hard copy certificate. Today I contacted PMI and they informed that hard copies of PMP certificates are not distributed any more due to COVID 19. The reason they told seems quite weird to me. Surface mails are are circulating throughout the world without any effect due to the pandemic.
Hello Atif, you can download your certificate from your PMI account. It is not an issue. Make sure your name is appearing on the PMI certification registry.
Hi Atif,

You can see your result from the Pearson VUE site.
I want to ask if pmi email the certificate in advance along with congratulations email. Or I have to wait for original one only.
Hello Ahmad,
Once you receive the congratulatory message form PMI, you can download a softcopy of your certificate from the PMI site. You will receive a hard copy of it within 4 to 8 weeks of passing the PMP exam.

Hi,
It has been six months but I have not received my PMP certificate. The customer care executive has told me that I’ll receive in 4-8 weeks duration, till date I have not received it. After completion of the mentioned time, I again contacted them and they said the same thing and also told me to use my online copy as a proof of my certification. Is there any way that expedite it? Is there any person whom should contact in this regard apart from the customer care people?

Preiti
Hello Preiti,
I think your certificate is lost somewhere during the transportation.
I suggest you apply for a new certificate assuming that your old certificate is lost.
Dear Fahad,
Could you please tell me the procedure to apply for a new certificate.
I mean whom to contact ? Prometric or PMI ?
Can you please tell me the email address or the procedure ..
