GOOD question , Fikir12, if u ask for the unlock only mentioning ur name , DOB, case number? they will unlock only for u, if u want to edit other derivative profile on the ds-260 , u should request mentioning their full name , DOB, separately, else u can not make editing on the other derivative . This what I knew from my experience, if u want to edit ur derivative U should request for them separately.
Dear Rolex123,
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I do need only to correct the mistake that I have, so I only mension my name CN and DOB. Bytheway, do you have any exprience regarding police certificate from Europe? I need to get a police certificate from one European country (actually I got one from another country), they need to have a letter why I need it. So I asked USA embassy in Addis, but they told me that still they don't have our list (selectees list). I don't know what I should do to get the police certificate. If you have any idea please tell me

I think no letter than 2NL explains why you need police certificate. What if you use it to request the police certificate from the country you want to have?

I think they won't change it cuz they have been telling our fellow dv 2014 selctees : that it is not possible to change the name once the certificate is commenced : so now you should try to have some letter from court stating that the certificate belongs to you ; after that go for your medicals and police certificate ASAP


did you authenticate the educational documents already ???


Also why don't you ask the Noe to correct your name based on the photo on the computer ??? just my point of view

If that's the only issue with your certificate, it's really not an issue at all. Does not even require an affidavit or a letter from the court. The embassy is used to seeing spelling errors on documents Ethiopian documents. Go through the DV 2014 or other past Ethiopian threads to read of similar accounts from past selectees.

hello friends. This may help for December guys.

police certificate

The police certificate takes only two days (one to give your prints, the other to pick it up). You need your appointment letter though, so you have to wait until your number is current.
On the morning of the first day, you give fingerprints after handing them a copy of your appointment letter, 1 passport photo and making the payment. It takes 10-20 min depending on how many people there are. The next day at 1 pm (sebat se'at malet new), you pick up the certificate after showing an ID. It takes another 5 min.
Easy and painless.

It's at the Police Forensics office behind the Immigration Office.

The document is in Amharic and English so no need for translation.
 
Please read also this message.

educational document

If you need a new copy of your ESLCE or other such educational document, it also takes a very short amount of time. It's at the Exam Records office of the MoE in front of the Patriarch's residence. You submit your application and receive the document the same day. If you submit the request early in the day, they'll tell you to come back at 4:30pm to pick it up. If you submit your request just before 3:30pm, you will get it by 5-5:30pm at the same time as those who submitted earlier. It allows you to finish everything in one trip instead of returning later.
Follow the exact same steps to authenticate the ESLCE certificate.

Then you need to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Kazanchis (close to the ceramics shops), in order to do the 2nd authentication. Normally it's too late to do it the same day, so go the next morning. It takes less than 5 minutes.
