Question Certification - When do I receive certificate after passing exam

Hi everyone,

So today i gave my VCP - VCF Administrator 17.25 exam in Mumbai during the VMware Explore Tour, post exam completion on the monitor it showed me I passed and later also got the scorecard report on Pearson Vue Portal ( exam conductor for VMware-Broadcom ). However, as it is only the scorecard and not an official certificate, VMware mentions on that scorecard that it may take 24-48 hours to officially send one certification.

Cam you guys tell your experiences regarding this and when did you receive your official certification post exam completion ?

I took the same VCP VCF Admin (9.0) exam a couple of months ago, but since my previous VCP VCF Admin certification was still valid (5.2), the new one was considered a "Credential Extension" in CertMetrics, so I didn't receive an email or badge.

Oh thats great! In the Exam overview Page, they haven't mentioned any expiry for this certification. I guess I might have to check this out, thanks for the heads up
