Well this is what said:

To earn a CFA charter, you must:

Have four years of qualified investment work experience,
Become a member of CFA Institute,
Pledge to adhere to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct,
Apply for membership to a local CFA member society, and
Complete the CFA Program.

....So I would suppose that if I have done all of this...Although I'm not using the letters against my name at this time, I don't think it is a breach to do so if you have completed all the steps.
