hey guys,

i got my official result today from continental testing services and that license application sheet from illinois department financial and professional regulation testing program. all is fine except one thing,

date printed: 1/21/2009

report date: 1/21/2009

actual test date: 1/16/2009

i don't get it. i took the exam on the 21st of january, not the 16th. the official result sheet from pearson vue says that the test date is 01/21/09. all other info are correct.

will this be a problem?

i also got a 9 digit number that says soc sec #; goes like xxx-xx-xxxx (on the license application sheet). will that be my permanent and official social security number?

thanks.

I would query it with the BON but unless you are already in the US and have been issued a SSN then that will not be your number.

Moving to the International forum as nothing to do with the Philippines

Only the US Federal government can issue a SSN, I agree contact the BON.

Hey guys,

We were able to talk to the contact person of CTS, according to her, the exam date discrepancy would have no bearing and that the SSN provided with the result is temporary.

Thanks for your help ^^

That is not a temporary SSN#, there is no such thing. That is only a number that the CTS made up to use in their system until you receive yours.

Please do not use it on anything else as it is not a valid SSN#. Only the US federal government can issue the SSN#.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarification Ms. Suzanne. :)

I will not use this SSN for the VSC.
