Yes you will. You will also need your Decree Absolute or whatever you were given to finalise the divorce.

Yes , if you are planning on marrying in Ethiopia .

You need to present single certificate issued in USA , authenticate by Ethiopian Embassy in USA, then Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ethiopia, then Documentation and Authentication office in Ethiopia.

Once you authenticate the certificate from these three agencies then it will be considered by Kebele office.
