Hello,
This post is regarding new application process for ecfmg registration.
STEP1 : The process for obtaining USMLE ID is still the same which has been described very clearly here http://www.medicowesome.com/2016/12/how-to-apply-for-usmle-exams.html#more
STEP2 - ECFMG CERTIFICATION USING IWA:
1)when you go to IWA and login to your account you will only have one option : apply for certification (no application for examination any more ) so you will just click on that.
2)simply follow the steps and confirm you information and you will end up getting a payment page of 125$.
STEP3 - FORM 186 :
1)After payment they will send you form 186 (unlike before you dont need to go to your medical school and have it signed by your deen)
2)You will simply go to the website :- https://www.notarycam.com/ecfmg/
STEP4 - INTERVIEW WITH ONLINE NOTARY :
1)Fill an application and upload form (186) and high quality image of your passport or photo ID preferably but not necessarily in english.
2)You will receive an email from one of the online notaries and schedule an appointment of an online meeting with him/her.
3)If you are ready at the moment you can schedule an appointment immediately(which is what i did) or you can schedule for an appointment later.
4)During your meeting with the notary please prepare your passport as you will be asked to show it, to confirm your identity.
5)Afterwards the notary will ask you to position your self to the mid of screen and ask your permission for taking a screenshot.(If your webcam is of low quality they will ask you to mail them a passport picture of yours,so be ready with that too)
6)Then you will have to electronically sign your form-no need to actually sign it,they will display your name in few fonts and you have select one.
7)Now you have done your part.The notary will seal the document and send it to the ecfmg.
8)You will get an 2 emails after this process-one from notary that they have sent your form186 to ECFMG and second email is from ECFMG which you will be getting after few days that they have accepted your form 186.
