Yes, the CFA admit card is mandatory for appearing in the CFA exam. Candidates must carry their CFA admit card to the exam center on the day of the exam. It serves as a crucial identification document and allows candidates to enter the exam hall. Without a valid admit card, candidates may not be permitted to take the exam. Therefore, candidates should ensure that they download and print their CFA admit card from the official CFA Institute website or their candidate portal and carry it with them to the exam center on the exam day.
