Screen names, aliases and ID numbers against the official US Treasury OFAC SDN list and the Consolidated (non-SDN) lists. The Actor downloads the current lists from the OFAC Sanctions List Service at the start of every run (no API key, no login), builds an in-memory index and compares each input.
Possible matches only. A name match is never a confirmation that a person or company is sanctioned. This Actor is not legal or compliance advice.
Input
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
names | People, companies, vessels, or identifiers (IMO, tax ID, registration numbers). Up to 200. Empty input screens the harmless example Acme Trading LLC. |
entityType | any (default), individual, entity, vessel, aircraft - only compare against that type. |
minScore | 0.8 to 1.0, default 0.9. |
maxMatches | Matches returned per name, 1 to 25, default 5. |
How matching works
- 1.00 exact - same words after normalising case, accents and punctuation (
LAST, Firstalso matchesFirst LAST). - 0.97 reordered - same words in a different order.
- 0.95 legal-form-ignored - equal once words such as LLC, LTD, INC, JSC are ignored.
- below 0.95 similar - word-level fuzzy match (typos). Short words (4 letters or fewer) must match exactly; longer words tolerate 1-2 edits. Words missing on either side lower the score.
- identifier - exact match on a number in the official remarks (tax ID, registration number, IMO, MMSI, SWIFT/BIC, passport ...). The number itself is not repeated in the output for people and companies; only its type is.
Each match shows the list, uid, which name or alias matched, score, sanctions programs, entity type, selected notes (linked entities, secondary-sanctions notes, listing dates) and a link to the official entry. For individuals a matching date of birth or nationality is the strong evidence - check it on the official entry. Birth dates, places of birth, addresses and contact details are deliberately not output.
Output (one row per input)
found (true = possible matches, false = none in either list, null = could not be screened completely), complete, matches[], screenedLists, dataAsOf (publication timestamp of each list), sectionErrors, note, error, disclaimer.
If a list cannot be downloaded, sectionErrors says so, found stays null when nothing was matched, and the Actor never claims "no sanctions".
Pricing event
screening-record - one per name screened against both lists. Names that could not be screened (list download failed, invalid entry) are free.
