I need to send my NYC issued diploma back to the States for Authentication by the Thai embassy or consulate there. Which is the most dependable service for such a task? It's my understanding that it must first be notarized by a notary in the state of New York. After that, will I also have to send it to the US department of State for their authentication before sending it to the Thai embassy for the final step?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To authenticate your NYC diploma through the Thai embassy or consulate, you first need to have it notarized by a notary in New York. After notarization, you'll typically be required to send the diploma to the U.S. Department of State for authentication. Only after these steps can you forward the document to the Thai embassy for the final authentication process. It is advisable to look for a reliable service in New York that specializes in document authentication and can assist with mailing to the relevant authorities.
