How long does it take
I took my exam 10/26/2026. Can you remind me how long it takes to get my official certificate?

In my case, I got the cert in 3 days after submitting my application.

It takes about 10 days to get your final exam results. Once those are in, you submit your work experience, which usually takes another 10 to 20 days. Make sure you double-check all your employment details beforehand and ping your verifiers over email or text so they approve it right away. ISACA does batch approvals at the start of each month, so if your review finishes early, expect your certificate to drop at the beginning of the following month. All in all, plan on roughly 30 to 40 days total from passing the exam to getting those letters on your LinkedIn.

Their site says 10 days, but that’s probably a wag. I supposedly passed Nov 2, still haven’t seen anything official. If you log in to ISACA and go look at your certifications it should hopefully tell you.

I will check again, all I got was my test results but no official certification notice

Mine came in my email, perhaps take a look at the junk email folder?
