I didn’t know waiting for the charter being officially awarded can also be annoying that much. Last year it took about a week to see directory updated but this year it is just taking too long.I just can’t wait to update my resume so I can catch up with the latest pickup in job market. But what can I say? Is it just me?
no - i’m checking the cfa directory relentlessly
So what have we determined is the best, OCD-approved way of relentlessly checking this? I’ve been logging on to the CFAI web site and hoping for “(First Middle Last), CFA Candidate” to change to “(First Middle Last), CFA.” Is there an even more OCD way of doing this, so that I will know as soon as possible that I can start using the letters? Sadly, I am not joking about this. sigh…
Thank God I’m not the only one that checks the website and directory on an hourly basis. The one thing we should have learned by now is that CFAI is never early with anything. Sept 1.
Ditto. I’ve been regular member of the Institute since I passed level 1. In Ought 6. I can’t wait to no longer be a candidate.

Sadly, I am not joking about this. > sigh… Absolutely…you can look up your name in the member member directory and see if it says Your Name, CFA. Takes more time, but you can’t claim that you truly have OCD unless you exhaust all options…I am proud to say that I have been diong this relentlessly. Worst case, we will get an e-mail on Wednesday stating that we can use our new designation. Best, TheChad
this thread is reading my mind…glad I’m not the only one.
Same here…i have even gone to the CAF bookstore to check. Unfortunately it only shows Shaft, CFA Institute Member:(
good to know I am not the only one -
Now I’m checking this thread often to see if anyone has any insight… torture!!!
There have been pickings in the job market lately?
I called them. September 1 the board of governors will start awarding charters on September 1. Once your account changes from charter pending to charter holder or whatever, you can start using the designation. Nothing will happen until the 1st or 2nd.
The least they could do after making us wait 12 painstaking weeks to find out the results of the exam is know who is able to use the designation immediately!
Add me to the same boat. I have to wait until Sept 1 to submit and hopefully get approved for 48 months of work experience. I already got 33 approved, it’s the remaining 15 I hope the approve. I can’t believe it takes them 6-8 weeks to do it. *sigh*

You need to wait until the 1st or 2nd when your status is changed on the website.

There are people that in theory should be able to use it immediately - those that have the requisite work experience, are regular members and have passed all 3 levels of the exam. It would be nice if the CFAI had looked at which candidates would be eligible alongside the results… rather than dragging the whole out another 2 weeks until Sept 1.
Gentlemen and Ladies, It will be worth the wait. Untill then, keep checking every hour.
I am in that boat but that is who is going to get their charter on September 1st or 2nd.
if I submit my work ex now, when will I get the charter?
Based on the info posted, even though you have passed all three levels and a regular member, there is still the need to wait for them to awared you the charter. Why??? I am waiting for them to send me the confirmation before getting the new business card printed
