CFA Exam ID Requirement Mess Up

I registered for the June 2013 exam about 6 months ago. When filling out my application, I didn't have a passport, so I just entered 0 for passport number and made note to myself to get a passport and update my information for the exam. Now, one week before the exam, I remember I need to get my passport and update the information with the CFA. Call me stupid, but I just started a new job at Deutsche a couple months ago and it just slipped my mind. I hired one of those companies that expedite your passport (can get it to you in 24hours supposedly) but I still need to update my info with the CFA. Am I screwed or do you think I'll pull this off? Also, any tips on how to better pull this off would be appreciated.

You need to call them ASAP - it takes ages but there is no chance of them answering an email this late ( I had exactly the same problem, just not this late!)

 

My passort expired and just picked up my new one this morning. Emailed the ID change form with a copy of the passport and it was updated within 3 hours give or take. Which was impressive considering it's a holiday down there. Just get it to them ASAP and you should be ok. Good luck.
