How To Find Government Email Address Directories

Randy Eadon
If you've ever tired to conduct a people search involving email addresses, you know it can be somewhat difficult. Whether you're trying to learn the name or owner of a mystery email address, or trying to find an email address for an old friend or acquaintance, sorting through the whole of the Internet is enough to give anyone a headache. Many people resort to using search engines, but these frequently turn up unreliable results, if they anything at all. Fortunately, if the email address you're looking for was issued by a government agency, there's a good chance you'll be able to find it in a government email address directory.

If you want to use government email directories in your email search, the first step is to determine whether or not the address or person you're looking for is affiliated with the government. Government agency emails almost always end in ".gov". Once you've determined that you have a government email address, the next thing to do is to look for a directory. While there are some nationwide federal directories, your best option is to search for a specific agency, such as the FAA or the Forestry Service. If you pursue all the Internet search options you can find, you should be able to find most government email addresses.


However, most addresses aren't going to be found in government email directories. After all, the government doesn´t issue most email addresses and not all of those that are can be found in online directories. If you need to find information about an address or person who isn't in a government email directory, you can use reverse email lookups to find what you need to know. These sites work like government directories, except their records include a vast number of email addresses that aren't government issued. This means you will probably find the information you need quickly and easily, no matter what the email address contains as it´s ending signature.

So, if you need tofind out more about an email address, now you have a good idea what resources you can use to get started. While government address directories are useful tools when researching government email addresses, you can still find out info about any email address using a reverse email lookup.
