PMP Certified Candidates on PMI Registry

You may not find every PMP certified person’s name on the PMI certification registry. There are two reasons for that:

1. PMI takes some time to update the information on the registry after you pass the exam. PMI usually updates the information about new PMPs within 5 business days but it can take up to 4 weeks also. So if you clear the exam and search your name, it may not show up immediately.
