Please verify the email you listed with PMI Global under pmi.org.

If the email address is correct, check your spam folder. A firewall or spam filtering service is likely the cause of the issue. However, you can white list several domains and IP addresses to ensure safe delivery.  Depending on your e-mail service, you may be able to do this yourself, or you may need the assistance of your IT administrator.
