Microsoft no longer send MCP certificates
Just learn from MCP portal that Microsoft will discontinue sending Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certificates from July 2009. If you want a paper certificate, then you must pay shipping and handling fees.
According to born to learn, Microsoft is supporting GREEN movement and to reduce carbon footprint.
What a lousy excuses!
Imaging after you study so hard to pass the exam, you got nothing to prove. Microsoft make so much money and each Microsoft exam is not cheap, S$265 per paper ~~ 
They can cut the useless wallet card & welcome kit, but not the certificate.
Microsoft had remove many MCP benefits many years ago, like the pin badge, TechNet membership, etc
Now, don’t even get a certificate.
