How to get/find my Pearson Vue Candidate ID
Hi Zdenek,
Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.
Let me help you to locate your Pearson VUE Candidate ID or MS ID.
If you already have your Microsoft Certification profile, please access your Pearson VUE Dashboard by following the steps below:
1. Log in using your personal Microsoft account on the Microsoft Certification Dashboard.
2. Under Exam providers tile, select Pearson VUE and click “GO”.
3. You will be directed on the Pearson VUE site where it will show your MSID on the upper left part.
Please refer to the image below:
On the other hand, if you do not have a learning profile yet, you may refer to the steps below:
1. Go to Microsoft.com/Learning.
2. Click on 'Go to Certification Dashboard' (make sure that there is no account signed in).
3. Sign in using your Microsoft account/Personal Email and password.
4. On Your Dashboard, click on 'Edit your certification profile'.
5. Enter your information. (Note: Make sure to enter all information with red asterisk '*' sign).
6. Click on Save (this will generate the MCID) then click on Continue.
Once you have your MCID, this will be the same as your MS ID/Pearson VUE Candidate ID, you just need to add "MS0" before your actual MCID.
I hope the information provided helps.
