Screen person or entity names against the official US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. Downloads the official SDN XML once per run, filters locally (exact or contains), and returns structured matches: uid, name, type, programs, remarks and source URLs.
Official list only — no OpenSanctions, no third-party mirrors as primary source.
Download URL: treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdn.xml (follows redirects to the official publication host)
Search UI: sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov
What it does
- Downloads the current official SDN XML (≈20–30 MB) once per Actor run.
- Parses
sdnEntryrecords (primary name + optional AKA list). - Matches each input name with
exactorcontainsmode. - Writes one Dataset row per match (capped by
maxItems).
Who it's for
- AML / KYC and sanctions screening pipelines that need an official OFAC source
- Bid desks and trade compliance that already use CEIS/CNEP / MDB debarment Actors
- Agents that must attribute results to Treasury SDN XML (audit trail)

Legal / data source
Data comes from the official US Department of the Treasury / OFAC SDN XML publication. This Actor is a screening aid only — not legal advice, not a substitute for your compliance program, and not affiliated with the U.S. Government. Always verify matches on OFAC Sanctions List Search and consult qualified counsel for binding determinations. Attribute results to the official Treasury SDN list.
Português (resumo)
Compara nomes com a lista oficial OFAC SDN (XML do Tesouro dos EUA). Baixa a lista uma vez por execução, filtra localmente (exato/contém) e devolve uid, nome, tipo, programas e observações. Apenas fonte oficial — sem OpenSanctions. É ajuda de screening, não aconselhamento jurídico. Pay-per-event sugerido: ~US$0,05 por execução + ~US$0,01 por match.
