What I have have completed all the exams and work experience, received the certificate but have not been working in the industry lately and thus have not paid my dues. Can I still call myself a charterholder?

No. You can only say ‘charterholder’ if you’re a current member, they’re pretty vigilant about that and you would eventually get emailed about it if you put it on LinkedIn etc.

I have passed all levels and am waiting to complete experience. I used to put my status “passed all 3 levels of CFA exam under certification on LinkedIn. A while back, some compliance person from CFA Institute emailed me saying I was in violation of code because it’s not supposed to be under certification but education. I decided to just remove all reference to CFA from my profile until I’m chartered.

That strikes me as petty – I’m surprised CFAI has that much resources to dedicate to projects like that.

Hi, so I have recently finished my CFA Level 1 exam (December 2018) and I am currently waiting for the result. Is It okay to refer myself as a ‘CFA candidate (December 2018)’ in my resume?

Yes, until your exam results are published.

@aiyshwaryaaj I don’t see why not, but I’m not sure if it’ll have that positive an on your profile.
