Confidence
The domain immigration.gov.et belongs to the Ethiopian Immigration and Citizenship Service, an autonomous government agency established by Proclamation No. 1263/2021. Our antivirus network returned zero detections and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The site uses a valid Sectigo certificate and follows the official .gov.et naming pattern used by Ethiopian government services. Independent evidence confirms the domain is the legitimate channel for passport and visa services. No scam reports or complaints appear in our research. The visual capture failed due to a server error, but this does not affect the strong legitimacy signals from registration and infrastructure data.

The full analysis

Page Content

The domain serves as the official portal for the Ethiopian Immigration and Citizenship Service. Citizens and foreign nationals use it for passport applications, visa requests, and immigration tracking. The Ethiopian government explicitly warns against unofficial copycat sites that mimic this service.

Infrastructure

The site resolves to IP 196.189.51.18 with an abuse score of zero and no reported incidents. A valid Sectigo DV certificate protects the connection and expires in 180 days. No redirects occur and the connection stays within the official domain.

Domain History

The domain is registered to the Ethiopian Immigration and Citizenship Service, an agency reorganized in 2021 from the former Immigration, Nationality and Vital Events Agency. Official Ethiopian government services use the .gov.et TLD exclusively.

Web Reputation

Our research found no scam reports, complaints, or negative mentions. The domain is explicitly identified as the legitimate government channel. No independent review aggregators returned ratings because government sites rarely appear on commercial trust platforms.

What this means for you

Users can safely access immigration services through this domain. Always verify the .gov.et ending and avoid third-party sites that claim to offer the same services for a fee.

AI Recommendation
Use this domain directly for Ethiopian immigration services. Avoid any third-party sites claiming to offer the same services.

Technical Details

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
