Hi everyone, what is the difference between authentication, legalizing, and notarizing when it comes to US Diplomas and transcripts for a non B visa to teach? 

My plan is to have my Bachelor's degree and transcripts legalized at the US consulate here in Hong Kong, and then authenticated/legalized at the Thai consulate after. Is this correct, or do I need to notarize also? 

Many thanks!

Have to be notarised too, but to my understanding the Ministry of Education will only accept them if they are authenticated by the Thailand Consulate/Embassy in the country the document was issued in.
