I just have been approved for regular membership and have paid regular membership fees (including society fee), may i ask what’s my next step to award my CFA charter?
Just wait.
I got my charter few minutes after paying the regular membership fees. It happened yesterday.
Did your name change on the CFA Institute website to skyline31, CFA? That’s when I started using the credential. You should soon receive an email saying welcome and it’s okay to use the designation.
Yes, i noticed my name has followed CFA on CFAI member directory, but I haven’t got any emails from CFAI to confirm if i can use CFA behind my name.
It took CFAI a couple of days after I was where you were to send out the email. I think someone said they were having email difficulties. I suppose you could call the Institute directly if you are still concerned.
I just got a pre approval letter from my local society. I paid the fee. Do you know what happens now?
This is CFAI email reply confirming my status:
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for writing. Our records confirm the award of your CFA charter on 10 September. Congratulations on your achievement! You will receive official notice by email in the coming days, followed soon thereafter by mailed confirmation. In the meantime, you may begin using the designation now in accordance withestablished usage guidelines. Please let us know if we can further assist you.
Kind regards,
