Just want to add a note here that you can probably avoid a lot of steps related to getting things notarized and authenticated by contacting your university and having them mail a sealed diploma/transcript directly to the TECRO office. That’s what I did because I had a new degree being issued, but any school will have a procedure for ordering duplicates, and setting aside the p.i.t.a. factor, you stand to save a good deal of time this way, too. I was able to send a simple scan of my passport without any notarization or authentication (TECRO, Washington DC) and a cashier’s check for about US$100, and I got all my documents within a few weeks.
Note: if your school isn’t listed on the MoE’s comprehensive non-comprehensive list of recognized schools, you still have work to do to get that sorted out. I’m in the process now, and if successful, I’ll post about it somewhere.
