Is .lv safe? The state of .lv domain security — Latvia
.lv is safer than the internet average. Across 87,545 graded .lv domains, 52.4% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 4.6% earn a B or better. Most .lv domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
Note: .lv is used as a proxy for Latvia based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .lv domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .lv domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 54 | 0.1% |
| A | 321 | 0.4% |
| B | 3,625 | 4.1% |
| C | 13,616 | 15.6% |
| D | 24,038 | 27.5% |
| F | 45,891 | 52.4% |
Does .lv make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .lv doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .lv domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .lv safe?
On average, .lv is safer than the internet average: 52.4% of its 87,545 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .lv domains?
47.6% of .lv domains score above an F and 4.6% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .lv make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .lv too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .lv domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
