Just got done with CK and ECFMG certification. Do I have to be in the US to apply for step 3?

May be, because they will ask for a notary public signature for an id form. Not sure if it can be done outside the state, though!

I just looked it up for you and I found that you can do it via US embassy in your country

Notarizing officers at any U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad can provide a service similar to the functions of a notary public in the United States. It is also possible to have a document notarized by a local foreign notary and then have the document authenticated for use in the United States. In countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention, this is a simplified process.

Here is FAQ about step 3 application. Note that this is the site where you will apply for your step 3. No more OASIS

So does it mean we can get the CID notarised locally by a notary public in India and mail it to them ?
Has anybody applied for step 3 from india ?
