As of October 23, 2026, the State Department has not published a confirmed DV-2027 selection-results availability date. A reported court order includes a December 3, 2026 deadline, but verify the government announcement. Results are checked on dvprogram.state.gov, not by unsolicited email.
When are DV Lottery 2027 results coming out?
As of October 23, 2026, the State Department's DV-2027 public notice says the date that results become available through Entrant Status Check (ESC) will be announced. Therefore, any claimed result date should be treated cautiously until the Department publishes it.
A reported October 2026 court order includes a December 3, 2026 deadline for notifying selectees. That is a legal milestone, not a promise that the system will be available at a specific time or that every entrant is selected. Courts and agencies can change schedules; confirm State Department updates.
How to check your DV Lottery 2027 results
Wait for the official ESC checking period
The government will publish the date that status checks are available. Checking an unrelated year does not show your DV-2027 status.
Open dvprogram.state.gov
Type the address directly: https://dvprogram.state.gov/. Avoid lookalike domains.
Choose Entrant Status Check
Use the official government's selection-status feature for the applicable DV year, once it becomes active.
Enter the requested confirmation information
Provide the confirmation number and other information exactly as requested by the government interface. You may need your last name and year of birth, depending on the live form.
Read the status and save the instructions
If selected, follow official next steps carefully. If not selected, be alert for scams claiming to change your result.
Where do you get your DV confirmation number?
After successfully submitting an authorized DV entry, the government displays a confirmation page containing identifying information and a unique confirmation number. Save it securely at the time of submission. It is not your passport number, and it is not a selection notice.
What if you lose your DV Lottery confirmation number?
When the government's Entrant Status Check page is available, look for an official recovery or “Forgot Confirmation Number” option if one is provided for your DV year. Only enter personal details into the official .gov system. Recovery functions and exact questions may change; do not share sensitive information with random “result recovery” services.
What happens if you are selected?
Selection is an invitation to continue an immigration process, not a visa approval. Selected entrants may need to complete an immigrant visa application, provide supporting documents, qualify for a visa, and attend an interview. The government's current visa issuance policies can change separately from whether selection results are released.
In particular, the State Department's August 31, 2026 guidance discusses a visa-issuance pause. Consult current guidance when the results are available instead of assuming a selection leads to an issued visa.
Common DV results scams
- A message that says “You won” and requires payment to unlock your confirmation number.
- A non-government website that asks you to upload a passport just to see whether you were selected.
- An agent claiming to increase selection odds or sell an approval.
- A text asking you to send your one-time passwords or email credentials.
- A screenshot that is not independently verifiable on the government's official system.

DV-2027 result FAQs
Are DV-2027 results available already?
No State Department date was confirmed as of October 23, 2026. The reported court deadline should not be mistaken for an operational announcement.
Can I check results with only a passport number?
Normally the Entrant Status Check requires the unique DV confirmation information, not only a passport number. Follow the live government's instructions.
Does selection mean I have a green card?
No. Selection is not visa issuance and does not guarantee immigration eligibility or admission.
Can someone charge me to reveal my result?
You can check your status directly on the official government website. Be cautious of services controlling or withholding your confirmation details.
