I hope this will answer a recurring question the comes up a lot in this forum.
As you all know by now, I passed (i.e., squeaked through) my
SCJP exam yesterday. Today, to my surprise, I received two e-mails from Sun Microsystems:
1. One with the subject:
"Sun Microsystems Certification Account Activation"
2. Another with the subject:
"Sun Microsystems Certification Account Address Validation"
If you did not receive these e-mails after passing the exam, please read on. The following is the content of the second e-mail:
Dear Lawrence,
Congratulations on completing all the requirements for the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, SE 6 certification. You were certified on 03/23/2010.
Prior to Sun sending your certification welcome package to you, we require that you login to the Sun Certification Database to verify or update your current mailing address. We require shipping address verification every six months. This helps ensure that your certificate will be mailed to your personal address successfully.
Please log into your account at http://www.certmanager.net/sun. You will need your official score report the first time you log on.
Once this step is completed, your certificate will be mailed. Please allow up 8 weeks for processing and delivery. Certificates are sent via standard postal carrier so tracking information is not available.
If you need to prove your certification status before you receive your certificate, you may publish your certification credentials to individuals of your choice by logging into your account at http://www.certmanager.net/sun and clicking on "Publish Credentials", then following the instructions.
This is sufficient and official proof of your certification status until your formal certificate is received.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns at who2contact@sun.com.
Sincerely,
Sun Certification

So here are the important points:
1. You need to receive two e-mails about the certification from Sun.
2. You need to login to the Sun Certification Database
3. You need to wait up to 8 weeks for the official certificate to arrive
4. You need to send e-mail to
who2contact@sun.com if you have questions about your certificate
5. You can publish your credentials to potential employers.
