Hello, i have just passed the 70-620 exam.

Check out the following link:
http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/2009/06/going-green-mcp-digital-certificates-are-here
It stays starting early July 2009 you will be able to order your certificates but you will have to pay shipping.
I am guessing there will be an option to order a certificate once you log into the MCP site. However I am not sure if this option is available yet.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I was able to log on to the MCP private site today, click the link to download a certificate and work through the process of ordering printed certificates. The following is directly quoted from the site. It looks as if the price is $9.95 USD for the first certificate and $0.99 for each additional certificate up to 6. There is also an option to expedite shipping for an additional fee. Hope this helps.

Shipping and Handling Details for Microsoft Paper Certificates
Starting this week, if you’d rather not print your own certificates or have a local print shop do it, you can order a paper certificate from Microsoft.
Microsoft will post instructions and a link next week both here and on the MCP Member site, but since many of you have been asking “how much is this going to cost,”:
The base shipping and handling cost for a paper certificate is $9.95 USD—to anywhere in the world. One price, worldwide.
Additional information:
You can add additional certificates to your order (maximum of 6) for $0.99 each… so an order for 3 certificates would cost $9.95 + $0.99 + $0.99 = $11.93
There will be an “express shipping” option for faster delivery, at an additional fee of course. Don’t have the details on that yet.
Some U.S. residents will be charged sales tax (if you live in a state where our fulfillment vendor has facilities—I have no idea why, but it’s a legal requirement).
No sales tax or VAT outside of the U.S.
Only Visa, MasterCard, and American Express payments are accepted—no other payments of any type.

Hi,
@Itamar.h - so called wallet card (MCP Card) is no longer shipped. Somewhere around August I guess MS will introduce new thing called Virtual Business card (check Bron to Learn blog as well for more info)
@ma.developer - you can order your cert by clicking the button which is located on the same page where you download the certs (don't remember the name of it though....)

hello!
first of all thanks for the replies...
it looks as it is worth waiting a little bit for me to pass more exams and then order them all together.
one more question: what about the mcp card? is it being shipped automatically or same procedure applies to it as well?Thursday, July 9, 2009 5:40 AM -

To order printed certificates, logon to the MCP site, follow the links to download your certificate, when you get to the certificate manager page where you can choose what certificates you want to download, scroll to the bottom of the page, on the right side there is an "Order Now" button to order paper certificates.Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:57 PM
