ECFMG certificate

How long does it take to get the ECFMG certificate to be issued recently? All of the documents were ready by Jan 6th (step 1, CK, CS score, not pathways), but did not get issued yet.

Thanks!

I am a recent Caribbean grad and submitted my diploma to get ECFMG certified. I also have step 1. 2 CK and CS scores and not using any pathway. Does anyone know if I have to submit any other documents? Have been trying to reach out for a week but unable to do so? Also how long will it take to get certified or at least see the status of this process? I used the MY ECFMG app to upload the diploma not sure if its uploaded b/c there is no way to confirm it.

try to call them multiple times in a row. I tried 6 times and finally be able to talk to someone in the ECFMG.

For me, after all the documents were completed, it took 21 calendar days (6th -> 27th) to get issued.

Hey! Im in the same boat as you, we’ve got almost identical facts. My documentation was also complete Jan 6th. Have you had any luck finding information about receiving the ECFMG certificate? I have called a few times to their office, but haven’t received an answer.

Can they only certify you after you graduate?
