CBI: How long did it take to get your certificate?

I went to my last birth for certification through CBI on Nov 18 and filled out the birth report that evening. Its now dec 9th, how long should I expect it to take for my certificate to come in the mail?

It comes from Nikki I believe, so it takes a few weeks. I think she's in Indonesia at the moment? Anyways, it's coming from somewhere far away lol. I think mine took 2-3 weeks, but it's been a while so I could be wrong. hth!

Sorry to say that mine took even longer than Amy's. Maybe close to 2 months for the actual certificate, though you are able to use your credential as soon as you get the okay from your trainer. I will admit that it's pretty cool to get mail with that many foreign stamps on it!

Well I just looked and I requested mine Nov. 12......... Still waiting! The temporary certificate doesn't seem very official because I believe the wording is something like 'official once we verify everything was turned in' or something along those lines

I can't wait to get it!

Mine took about 1 month to arrive if I remember correctly, but she sent it digitally on the day I finished.

Blessings,

It will come. It does get sent from Indonesia so depending on where you are it can take a while. I might shoot Nikki a note just in case it got lost along the mail line somewhere.

I just got mine on Saturday! I was just about to email someone about it, too!

It looks great and I'm excited to frame it!
