Where do you put the Security + info on your resume?

Does anyone have any advice on how I should include the Security + info on my resume? I noticed that there are two different #'s…the career ID and it looks like a verification code. Thanks!

At the End of the resume under education..

Yep, as the others said, under my professional certifications section. I don't put ID numbers or anything with them, never had someone ask for an ID number for verification either.

agreed, don't add ID numbers unless asked and only if the offer has been made. once onboarded they can ask for ID or copies of the certs but that is an HR thing.

To OP: Like others said, you don't need to include the ID and verification number on your resume

A side question. Apologize if off topic, but what are your opinions about where to place the "Certifications" or "Professional Certifications" section on a resume. I recently added that section to mine and put it up top so it is one of the first things the employer will see.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

When I had certifications, I listed them under a "Certifications" section, below my "Education".

I list my certs under "Skills" after listing all the devices, platforms, and suites I had legitimate experience in.
