Hi folks,

I have done with my PhD VIVA with minor corrections few weeks ago and only recently received a letter from university senate confirming award of the degree. Please note that this letter is not the nice looking 'Degree certificate' which will be given to me in July during graduation. I can rush them to get it before. However, I would quite like to attend the actual event in the summer.

My question is can I officially use 'Dr' now?

If the corrections have been passed and you have a letter stating this, or something like this, then you can call yourself 'Dr' Congratulations.
