Somem time ago I submitted application for NMAC after passing the NAADAC MAC exam. I have not heard anything from NAADAC. How long would I expect to wait for any type of response?

I submitted the application before I took the exam, it was my understanding that was the process. I took the test for the MAC on December 14, then received a letter from NAADAC 4 weeks later granting me the credential. I am still waiting for the official certificate, which was supposed to be received in 4-6 weeks (it's now been about 8)...I would think you may want to contact NAADAC to make sure they have everything they need.

How was this issue resolved? Did you receive your MAC certificate?
