According to the official regulations of PMI (Project Management Institute), after passing the exam, you need to wait for about 4-6 weeks to receive your PMP certificate. The exact time may vary from country to country or region to region. During this time, PMI will review your exam results and application information to ensure that all requirements have been met. If there are any issues with your application, PMI will contact you for additional materials or to correct errors. Once reviewed and approved, you will receive an email notification and will be able to download and print your PMP certificate on the PMI website. If you choose to purchase a physical certificate, there will be an additional cost and a longer wait to receive it. It is important to note that obtaining a PMP certificate does not mean that you will be able to hold it permanently; you will need to renew it every three years to maintain its validity.
