Is there a Wallet card of some sort? If google can't tell, it doesn't exist...right?

With Cisco you get to choose 1 free version of your certificate -- either paper (6-8 weeks, but usually they show up sooner) or electronic (pdf, 3-5 days).

Up to 2 additional copies of each/either(?) can be purchased.

The paper kit has the certificate and nice cardboard folder to hold it, the wallet card, the form letter from John Chambers, and a discount coupon for 40% off of selected books at CiscoPress.com (you lose the default 30% off on books not on the list -- so don't mix 'n match).

I usually get the paper one as my "free one" -- and buy the electronic version (cause I just can't wait to see my Certificate). The electronic version is the the PDF of the Certificate and PDF of both side of the wallet card.

The CQSs (Cisco Qualified Specialist) are the Certificate and cardboard folder/holder with the book discount coupon. Electronic CQSs are just the certificate.

I like the new certificates better than the old version has posted. No "rising sun" background distraction on the bottom anymore, and the left "power point presentation tempate" blotch is gone. Color scheme is similar. The top bar has a "diploma" clip art icon at the left -- with the "Cisco Career Certifications" text in the top blotch.

Hum, maybe I should carry around a wallet card -- I know my prometric candidate ID from logging in for exams so many times -- but I don't know my Cisco ID# (I know it starts with a "C" from logging in automatically to the Cisco certification tracking system). But then, there is only Cisco # I really care about, and hopefully it will still only have 5 digits when I get it.
