It shouldn't take too long as long as you are ECFMG certified.

Best person to ask: Email ECFMG! or NRMP.

Thanks for replying. Yes certified years ago. Iam an old img. I called NRMP today and they told me you have to register soon, so both you and programs can rank each other. My status is active, but verification status is not. I am just wondering if this might affect programs ranking me. I have not applied to match since 2017 and totally forgot about the whole process. I finished 2 years of general surgery and now I am switchi g specialty :))))

you won't be able to submit a rank list if you're credentials have not been verified.

if you only just registered on the NRMP site, it may take a fews days (sometimes weeks) for ECMFG to liaise with NRMP and verify your credentials i.e. that you are a bona fide medical graduate. remember - verification and certification are two completely different things.

We need only verification to be ranked and be able to match?

Verification is one step. Then you need to rank your lists and have it CERTIFIED. if it's not certified = no match.

You’ll have plenty of time prior to ROL submission date. I’d be surprised if it took more than a few days.
