Difference between ordered Microsoft certificate and printed one

Hello Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone paid the 15 bucks or so to order the certification? If so is it any different? I just passed my last test to become a MCITP: EA, and wondering if it's worth paying for. I have only just printed out all of the serts before.

Thanks,
Brandon

    Congrats on the pass. The certificates you buy are printed on high quality paper with no borders. This thread has some pics:

    I would happily print mine, to resolve their carbon footprint issue however they need to get that white space around the boarder removed. Then I could print it correctly on card with our photo colour printers.

    I can't understand still that we have to purchase the certs after the exam, when we pay money for the exam which hasn't changed in price since they announce no wallet cards and no cert papers will now be sent.

    I am going to wait until I complete 70-680 and 70-647 and will order all the 4 certs at once that way. It's cheaper.

    Don't the "proper" ones also have nice holograms? Now you can't print those can you.

    I hate the electronic certificate system - like someone just said it's not like the exams dropped in price as a result is it? It was just a money saving exercise on Microsoft's side in my opinion.

    Maybe not a proper hologram but didn't they have a shiny silver/gold thing?

    yeah, but that is just a sticker.
