What's going on with the certifications? 0.0

I earned my MCP a few days ago. Today I received a mail and signed up to the mcp web site. The site gave me the option to download my certificate and claimed that I can order a printed certification.
When I passed the exam (70-270) I received a printed document that promised me a Welcome Kit (a physical one). Does it include my certification? If not, how can I order it?
Thanks for the help.

yes its a new thing, only been going about a month now, MS not producing welcome packs because of their "green" initiative.

This is the announcement I see on the main page:
Did someone already order a certification? How this process goes?In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and impact on the environment, Microsoft has transitioned MCP certificates from paper to digital format. You can still order a printed certificate (a shipping and handling fee is required). -

I'd like to know if you still get a card if you opt to pay for a paper cert.

Yeah, it's disappointing about the cards. Not that I ever actually use them. -

Bummer. I guess that goes for the pins as well? Not that I really cared about the pin.Cards are officially gone...you can order certs, but not cards.
Basically everything physical is gone.

Does this make them (the pins) a collectors item

are you looking for one or saying that one exists already? I'm hoping there isn't one out there...there's enough dumpers out there, the last thing we need is people forging MS cards now.Did someone hear about a third party company that manufactures cards that looks like microsoft's?Currently Studying For: Nothing (cert-wise, anyway)

I was debating buying a card printer to fill-in for them. Seems like a great business opportunity, given all the card-related outrage I've seen here

I didn't hear about the third party company, but you have piqued my interest. Green initiative my a$$. Microsoft is just being cheap. After what we pay for tests, and the amount of time devoted to studying they should be giving us certificates and cards for free."We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams."
