FTN and Certification number

[Gonzo66]

Can anyone tell me if the FTN is the same as the Certification number?

The FTN is a number assigned to you by the FAA that stays with you throughout the course of your aviation career. Your FTN is assigned to you by the FAA after you complete your registration in IACRA or will already exist if you have a previous airman certificate.

The FTN is a different number than your certificate number.
