When Will I Get My PMP Certificate from the PMI by Regular Mail After Passing the Exam

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.
