Doesn't matter how far back you have to list it.

You will just have to face that contradiction but you must be honest. And its where you have lived since age of 16 years don't put the daye since your birth. In fact I think the DS-260 auto-populates that date if not the month year you turned 16. If you lived no where else than thats the only police certificate you have to worry about.

And it doesn't matter how long they keep records. Click Yes you have no choice but to.

If it comes up at interview just explain. But you should know all places you lived at since 16 years old yes.
