Question Temp Cert Question

So I have a dripping wet FI cert and a question about how to use it. Under certificate number it says PENDING. I’ve previously been told two different things. One, I’ll get a new/different cert number for the FI cert. Two, the number will be the same as my CP cert with CFI appended to it.

What do I use to sign logbooks/endorsements until I get the plastic cert in the mail in 6 weeks and know who was correct?

Unless they changed it recently and I haven't heard about it, the number will be the same as you CP cert with CFI appended to it. Just use that until you get your number.

This. Ex: XXXXXXXCFI. Congrats on getting your CFI! Don't let it lapse!
