All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

whenever you go for some critical activities (like to get married, to sell houses or cars...), you should present an "unmarried" certificate from local administration (sub cities) to the concerned office. It's just to avoid marriage on marriage and selling of properties without knowledge of the other partner.
But for DV case, it's not a requirement.

Thanks for the explanation, :) I guess like they say, you learn everyday. So an unmarried certificate is something peculiar to Ethiopia (or maybe a few other countries issue that too?). Anyway it's something I've never heard of in all the countries I've lived in spanning over 3 continents (oh yes, I've moved around a bit :p). Anyway, thanks.
 
Hi God-is-Love and Sm1smom, I just want to clear any possible confusion that may occur due to the last sentence in God-is-Love's post above on our new members of the forum. It is important to note that authenticated marriage certificate be presented for DV interview for married DV lottery winner.
i said there is no need to submit any certificate to show you are unmarried.
If you are married, you need to present authenticated marriage certificate at the time of interview. I think there is no confusion.

Don't know that a certificate for the unmarried exists anywhere in A Africa. why not criminalize illicit marriages instead?

Yeah the rumor is true. After that I became an Indian student studying law in the US who has now been given the opportunity in this forum to put into practice what I've been learning in my law classes.

thank you everybody on this thread for your replay to my questions.I am also one ;is the authentication of the documents is made at the back of the originals or on the copy of the originals.
 
Are you sure of it.I said this because i go to haromaya univ.and unity said to me it is on the copy.
there is a difference between
authenticated document and certified copy

while authenticating you will use the original document but for a certified copy you photocopy the document and they make sure it is the true copy of the original document by stamping on the back of the copy paper

@ZGREAT is right. He put nice explanation.
In addition, certified copies are usually required if you are sending documents to offices which need it; like, when you apply for scholarship they may request certified copies of original documents. I think universities are experienced with this certification process, and high schools and NoE are well experienced with authentication
