It has been a debatable question for years, on whether PMP credential should be used in e-mail signatures & other places, although you are PMP certified.
My question is, should the PMP credential be used along in the name section in a resume?

It's a personal choice, it depends on the role position that you are applying and the country.

There is this Emily Post article on how to handle that.

You'll probably have to copy/paste the link.

As for me personally I never use CAPM after my name when dealing with my doctor, or family. If I am dealing with a placement agency, my school, or a hiring manager, then I'll use CAPM.

Why not?
Unless specific constraint, like regional/country usage.
I would be also careful about automated system that might not register it next to your name. So have it elsewhere also.

Tailor the resume to the job you are seeking. If PMP credentials are in demand for that position I certainly would add them.

It is hard for me to imagine it hurting your prospects unless, through the course of your resume, you come off as snobbish and braggadocious.

Ultimately a personal choice but I would add it as a clear remark about what,within my features,I value the most.

I believe that it is a credentialed accomplishment. Therefore, should be included on a resume. There are several great responses on this! Ultimately, it would get noticed.

I have no doubt about that. You have to present yourself with your most important credentials and I´m sure PMP is one of them.

It's a personal thing that correlates with your personality. Wade gives some very useful advice in his comment.
