    A friend lost his N+ and A+ certs, problem is they are on his CV. He has an interview coming up soon so no time atm to get a copy off CompTia. Will they want to see them as proof or what happens? Thanks.

    Does CompTIA provide an official transcript online like MS? Usually that is sufficient as certs can be doctored anyways.

    I have never been asked for my certs at interview but have been asked for my transcript (which there is a link on my resume anyways)

    Ditto above

    Never been asked to show my certs but I have been asked for my Microsoft MCP number

    The ACTUAL certs themselves don't matter, I've no idea where the majority of mine are

    By the way he can also log on to whatever testing company he used and it will show the Pass/Fail there

    I had to provide them a number of times. The higher the cert the more likely that you will be asked for proof.

    Yep. More than likely won't be asked for proof of A+ and N+.

    I was not asked for them either, but like said above you can print off a copy from the site, also you can use that email thing that they have to forward prove to the company he is going for interview with, he would have got the login details for this already, its on the sheet they give you after the exam.
