CISSP processing time tracker

I'm trying to gauge the timeframe for approval. I know it varies and to allow six weeks. There's a good CISM tracker thread that gives you a ball park.

Anyone pass/send paperwork towards the end of December?

Passed Test 12/16/16
Endorsement 12/20/16
Received we're still processing email 1/10/17

Still pending. Will update once I receive the approval.

Congrats, B.B.! This time seems like the longest I've waited for endorsement. I also had ISC2 endorse me for all my certs, and usually apply mid year. Perhaps there's a rush at the beginning of the year.

Seems like a month is a good average from the time the endorsement is completed to the time the official congrats comes in.

@Heirrow77
any update on your endorsement

What are your experiences with receiving the physical certificate and ID from ISC2 in the mail? I had to ask them to resend mine, been waiting since August 2017. They said it takes 6-8 weeks and (surprisingly) no tracking information available.

talbert80

Congratulations everyone on your certs! I normally receive the physical certs in 3 weeks. The timeline is different for me. When I took the SSCP, HCISPP, and CISSP in 2015, the turnaround from app to certification was 10 days to 2 weeks. With the CAP this year, it took about 6 weeks.

*The email I received after passing still says that I provisionally passed so I am not sure if other folks are getting an email explicitly saying their pass is confirmed or if it is an assumption.

I am hoping to hear any day now.

About 10 minutes after I posted this I got the ISC2 congratulatory email (3/12), so it looks like they are still processing at about one month.
