Oracle changed the process for signing up for a test in person. (If you want to take an exam online from home, read up in carefully. For example, this blog post. It wasn’t immediately clear to me how to register for in person, so I wrote it down.
Note: starting Sept 2022, this process has changed for English exams. See blog post on new procedure.

Kian, I have the same problem. Did you find it out?
I do not see Java SE 17 Developer 1Z0-829 in the Pearson VUE website to schedule the exam . Any help on this ?
@Mohana: It moved to Oracle’s site. They self administer the exam online now
I live in Germany (maybe that makes a difference) and I neither find 1Z0-829 in person Exam on Pearson VUE website nor on Oracle website. The only in person test available is Java 8 on the pearson VUE site. I called the Pearson VUE Test Centre in Munich and they forwarded me to Pearson VUE website and as I told them the 1Z0-829 Exam is not available there, they couldn’t help me. The only option as it seems is the online proctored exam.
It’s not just Germany. Oracle doesn’t offer in person exams anymore. Only online ones.
Thank you, good to know and thank you for the awesome OCP Study Guide. I like all the examples and questions which makes it easy to keep up the attention and the little jokes and I like that it is very understandable because it explaines all the little details other books just leaf out.
