Confidence
The domain belongs to a real government agency responsible for civil registration in Addis Ababa. Our antivirus network returned zero detections across 92 engines and browser blocklists show no flags. The hosting IP carries a zero abuse score with only one unrelated report. Evidence confirms the agency has operated since 1935 and is undergoing digital transformation under Ethiopia's national initiative. The .gov.et TLD is reserved for Ethiopian government entities, adding another layer of legitimacy.

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.
