Thank you for contacting Customer Care at the Project Management Institute. Please be informed that membership and certification are separate and completely independent of each other. Hence if you are a non-member it will not affect your certification. Also, for more information regarding the scoring procedure you are requested to visit the “Examination Report” section in the PMP handbook: http://www.pmi.org/en/Certification/~/media/PDF/Certifications/pdc_pmpha... Meanwhile, if we may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
You can join as a PMI member for US$119 per year, plus a $10 application fee for new members. Membership is valid for 1 year. Annual renewals cost US$119.
As I see, PMI PMP exam can be passed through Prometric center.
Could you please provide me the actions which are mandatory before schedule the PMI PMP exam?
Are you done with your 35 hours of manadatory training to take the PMP exam? It seems you have NOT! I say so because these are the basic information which everyone is provided during the training.
Come back to these forums asking genuine problems or some questions of the highest order. Are you new to this forum? If yes, then please refer to respected Pawarji Sir's questions. They are mind blowing. Good ones. God bless respected Pawarji Sir. Seeing one feature of his is like reading 5 pages of PMBOK. A great man and intelligent to the core.
I'm newbie and checking this forum right now. Last question in this chain:
As for now I'm studying onlince course at the work provided by vendor and it says that gives me 35 PDU. Please advise how I will be identified as owner of 35 PDUs and how this will be acknowledged by PMI while I will be booking the exam,

You have asked a million dollar question. The answer to this question is dependent upon many factors:
1. Which country are you in,
2. How much can you spend for your 35 hours of mandatory training, etc
This is a question where lots of IFs and BUTs can be raised. I did a classroom training (India) because I was a complete novice. I regret since I should have done this online. Take the example of Diba who did it from PMStudy and scored 5Ps. There is another friend, Mohanti Prakash, who did it from simplilearn and came out with 3 Ps and 2 MPs. PMChamp (online) is another option. Before joining anywhere, please do confirm from PMI if they are actual REPs or no. REP stands for Registered Education Provider. You may mail them on customercare@pmi.org or you may call them. Their numbers are readily available on the net.
However, I also feel the training should only be relegated to fulfill the 35 hours, thats it. Later what matters is your in-depth preparation. Thorough knowledge of PMBOK, ITTOs and Maths, to name a few. Like we had a batch of 7 out of which 6 are certified PMPs where as 1 is still finding ways to get it and you know that who is :)

sorry
Apologies for missing the name of a person named, Saket. Who is also known as SS or Saket Sir :)
Wait till he reverts with some tangible suggestion. Please follow his suggestions, if you may.
