Ticket from Paul Burgholzer - Certification Exam

I am not employed by a HUD participating organization yet. If I pass the exam, do I need to immediately apply for the certification with the FHA? I want to use the fact that I already passed the test to help me find a job with a HUD approved agency, so how long do I have from when I pass the test to send my results to the the FHA until my test results stop being valid?

Ticket from Paula Tiffany - Certification Exam

I have been trying to transfer my exam results to FHA connection and have been unable to complete this. I have all the information needed, but I'm wondering if it is because there is a warning box on that page that "a non numeric value..." My two coworkers have been unable to transfer exam results as well. Please advise. Thanks.
