No. You are not a charterholder until CFAI says you are. Assuming you have met all the criteria, you will get an email or letter saying you can start using the designation. That should come sometime late Sep or early Oct. That is when you can put ,CFA after your name. A few weeks after that, your charter will show up in the mail.
