When can I use the designation?

CFA Level III
#1

Hi All,

Just passed the exam and I am a regular member (everything approved). When will I receive an email stating that I can use the designation?

thanks

#2

When I got my charter, I don’t remember getting an email saying that you can use it, but I do remember the CFA directory updated my name with the designation a few hours after I got my results.

#3

The CFAI website already shows “CFA” after my name (just passed today), but I sent them an email just to double check before I update any public profiles.

#4

It’s certainly good to email them to be certain, but I’m quite sure that if you see CFA after your name in the member directory you’re good to go.

#5

We should receive badges as well soon.

#6

How long does CFA take to review your membership application once submitted?

Also, can you use the charter designation once the membership is approved given I have passed level 3?

Thanks!
