CISSP Endorsement delays

[funkychicken]

Hi, 

I passed my CISSP around 3-4 weeks ago and quickly completed the endorsement process because I didn't want too many delays. After 3 weeks I have heard nothing from the ISC2 team and the endorsement is still on stage 1 which is being submitted but not picked up by an ISC2 member. I applied for ISC2 to endorse me with information about a CISSP college who I have worked with for a number of years. 

I am wondering if it will be quicker to submit the endorsement using my colleague and not ISC2 because I don't want to get to the point where its going to take another 4 weeks and then suddenly I am reaching that 9 months limit before I need to take the exam again.

Or is there anyone who I can speak to about this or is there a general delay with endorsements at the moment ?

Thanks a lot @Kaity, my application is  now approved. I really appreciate your help and assistance over here.

Hello @amigi! Apologies for my delay as I was out on PTO January 6-10. Has your status changed yet? Please feel free to PM me. 

For all on this thread, the application review timeline is 4-6 weeks but we are certainly at the longer end of that timeline due to the holidays. We had a smaller number of staff available in December and also have holiday time off for the entire team around Christmas and New Year's.

Hello @Kaity, thanks for the info. In the meantime, I got reply to my question submitted via online form and my endorsement is currently at ISC2 for review.

Hi Kaity,

I am in the same boat. I passed my CISSP on December 14, 2024, and quickly completed the endorsement and got a notification from ISC2 "Your application was endorsed by .................., it has been submitted to ISC2 for review. 

Five weeks have gone by, and I have yet to hear any further feedback. Will appreciate your help.

Hi Kaity, I hope you're doing well. I passed the CISSP exam and received my endorsement on January 2, 2025, but I haven't heard back from ISC yet. Could you assist with checking the status? Thank you!

Hie, I passed my CISSP exam on the 4th of January 2025 and got endorsed on the 7th of January 2025 and till now I have received my certification, what might be the course of the delay and is there a way I can get assistance?

@Kaity,

I successfully passed my CISSP exam on January 31, 2025, and my application was endorsed on the following day. However, as of today, I have not received any updates regarding the approval of my application.

The CISSP certification is a key requirement for my upcoming appraisal, which is scheduled for next week.

Request your help. Will be grateful to you for your support. I have written email as well.

You will probably receive it soon. I received mine 2 days before it was exactly 6 weeks after endorsement.
