The PMI provides a facility to check the status of PMI certification on their registry. So, anyone can check the status of the PMP or any other credential online from the PMI registry. The PMI registry is an online directory of PMI credential holders. You can search this data for your PMP verification or anyone else’s.

This useful feature allows employers to verify PMP certification for candidates online. 

Apart from PMP, you can see all certification holders’ credentials. You don’t have to repeat the search for all credentials. It is the only place to verify the authenticity of the PMI credential.

If you are in a hurry, below is the direct link for the PMI registry; you can verify your PMP credential:

How Often is the PMI Registry Updated?

This registry is always being updated. When I passed my certifications, I saw my name the next day both times. But these days, PMI takes around one week to update the credential information. So, if you have passed the PMP exam today, expect to see your name within one working week unless you opt-out.

Contact PMI customer care if you don’t see your name in the registry even after one week. 

[Please note that PMI customer care is different for each geographic location. You should contact customer care for your region.]
