The
Embassy of Ethiopia/Consulate in North America is currently issuing
only a new Electronic passport that requires mandatory finger
print. Therefore; starting from April 2010, all Ethiopians who
want to obtain a new, replacement (lost or existing) passport
or renewal of a passport should fulfill the following requirements.
-
Those
who have already submitted their finger prints upon receipt of
an electronic passport earlier are not required to submit their
fingerprints again. However, if you have an old /manual/ passport
or was exempted from submitting your finger print due to your
minor age then you should submit your finger print anew.
-
Those
who are minor under the age of 14 are exempted form providing
finger prints.
-
The
Embassy also advise all applicants to submit their applications
AT LEAST TWO MONTHs AHEAD of their planned
travel date or prior to applying for any other services that
require a valid
passport.
-
Those
using a postal service are advised to get a tracking number from
the service provider for follow-up.
