I cannot provide a direct link to a website for the 2025 DV Lottery registration. The official DV Lottery program is run by the U.S. Department of State, and its website is the only legitimate source for registration. Beware of fraudulent websites claiming to offer lottery registration services; these sites often charge fees and may even steal your personal information.
How to Find the Official DV Lottery Website:
The official website address changes yearly. To ensure you're on the legitimate site, do NOT rely on search engines alone. Instead, I strongly recommend:
-
Going directly to the U.S. Department of State's website: Search for "U.S. Department of State" on a trusted search engine like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. Navigate to their official site. Look for a section related to visas or immigration. The link to the DV Lottery program will typically be announced when the registration period opens.
-
Checking reputable news sources: Major news outlets often announce the opening of the DV Lottery registration. Check reliable news websites for announcements during the official registration period.
Important Information Regarding the DV Lottery:
-
Timing: The registration period for the DV Lottery opens each year for a limited time. There is only one official registration period. Miss the window, and you must wait until the following year.
-
No Fees: The DV Lottery is free. Any website asking for money to register you is fraudulent.
-
Beware of Scams: Numerous scams target hopeful applicants. Only use the official website provided by the U.S. Department of State.
-
Information Accuracy: Double-check all information you submit. Inaccurate information will lead to disqualification.
-
Multiple Entries: Submitting multiple entries will result in disqualification.
By following these guidelines, you can safely and effectively participate in the DV Lottery process. Remember, safety and diligence are paramount when dealing with official government programs. Do not hesitate to confirm information through multiple sources before taking any action.
