Lab and Practical Exam Registration
The following information is applicable to all CCIE Lab and Practical Exams.
Once you have passed the CCIE written exam, you are eligible to schedule your CCIE lab and practical exam. Passing scores on written exams are automatically downloaded from testing vendors, but may not appear immediately. We suggest you wait ten days after your written exam before attempting to schedule the lab.
You will need the following to schedule your lab exam:

Identification number you used to register for your written exam (in the U.S. and Canada the ID number is generally your Social Security or Social Insurance number. In other regions, the testing vendor assigns the number.)
