CISSP endorsement delays

[tbd]

Hello everyone!

I submitted CISSP endorsement application on Dec 28th 2024. 5+ weeks later, there's still no update on the portal. The application appears to be stuck in the 'Received' stage. Has the average processing time increased from 4–6 weeks? @Kaity

That is not unusual. Most of my endorsements, even the ones that only needed to accept the code of ethics took around 4 weeks. I am sure that they are probably catching up from holidays and have had some really bad weather there. I know that it seems like forever. Unfortunately your certificate will be March 1 instead of February 1 now. Congratulations on your exam. It is a big deal, and ISC2 tries to keep the integrity of the exams.

Kaity (one of the system Administrators) just posted that endorsements are taking a full 4 - 6 weeks presently.

I would wait until the 6 week level after which I would reach out to customer Service (https://isc2.og/contact-us) to see if they can assist you.

Thank you for sharing that. With the time of year and the weather this January, I am not surprised. ISC2’s move saved them from hurricanes but not the bitter cold.

ISC2 takes notoriously long time for process anything, saying this from personal experience.  It took for me over 6 weeks for the application approved from ISC2. ISC2 seriously needs to improve this process. 

Hope you get yours approved soon.

When did ISC2 move its operations.  I know their corporate Head Office is in the DC are but thought that operations were still in Florida?
