Scheduling CMA Part 2 via Prometric

  • 1.  Scheduling CMA Part 2 via Prometric

    Posted 04-18-2026 02:50 PM

    Hello, I registered for the CMA part 2 exam for May/June exam window and received the authentication number a few moments later. However, when I proceeded to schedule the exam on prometric, it gave me an error saying the identification number is not recognized. The chat bot says to wait for 48-72 hours after receiving the authentication number but when I scheduled for Part 1, I never faced these issues. I have emailed ICMA too and am waiting for their response. Has anyone had these issues too? If so, did waiting for a day or 2 resolve the issue or any further actions had to be made? Please let me know.

    Hello,

    I'm currently experiencing the exact same issue, but for CMA Part 1. I registered for the May/June window yesterday and received my authorization number immediately, but today Prometric still doesn't recognize it when I try to schedule.

    It seems like there's a delay between the IMA and Prometric systems. From what I've seen (and been told), it can take up to 48–72 hours for the authorization to become active in Prometric.

    I'm planning to wait another day and try again. It would be great to hear if yours gets resolved soon as well.

    Hello Basudev, just for confirmation, were you still able to proceed to the selection page after entering your credentials even though it was for the wrong part? I have cross checked all my procedures multiple times yet was unable to proceed to the selection page. Please do let me know and thank you.

    Hi all,
    Update: I registered (paid) for the exam on Saturday, 18/04/2026 at 13:50 and today Tuesday, 21/04/2026 at 02:00 I was able to schedule my exam. From my research and experience, this was a backend issue and you will automatically be able to schedule within 48-72 hours after you receive your authentication email. IMA processes the authentication numbers either immediately or in batches. If it is the latter, it may take upto 72 hours for your authentication number to be active. Don't panic like I did and just continue your preparations for the exam while checking the scheduling site once or twice a day. All the best to all giving the exam!

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others facing the same issue.

    I was getting the "identification number not recognized" error on Prometric while trying to schedule my CMA Part 1 exam, even though I had just registered and received my authorization number.

    Here's what worked for me:

    • My last name contains a non-English character (Ç). When I entered it as "Ç", it didn't work.
    • When I used the English version (C), the system accepted it and allowed me to proceed.
    • I also noticed that my authorization number was not sent via email. I found it in my invoice/purchase history on the IMA website and used that.

    After these steps, I was able to successfully schedule my exam.

    Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same issue!

    Good luck to everyone.
