Global Sanctions List — OFAC, EU & UK Screening

31,817 sanctioned people, companies, vessels and aircraft. The US OFAC, EU and UK official lists in one table with the same 33 fields on every row, fetched from the three authorities on every run.

What it does

Three governments publish sanctions lists in three incompatible formats: OFAC as a fixed-width text file, the EU as XML, the UK as its own CSV. Names, identifiers and programme codes sit in different places and mean different things in each.

This Actor fetches all three, normalises them into one shape, and returns one row per listed entity with 33 fields. Lists are fetched fresh on every run, never from a cached copy, because a sanctions list read from yesterday's copy is worse than no list.

What you get

33 fields per row, including name, entity_type, source, regime, programme, nationalities, dates_of_birth, aliases_count, passports, national_ids, addresses, designated_on, source_id and retrieved_at.

The table view shows 10 of them; all 33 are in the JSON, CSV and Excel downloads.

Input

Field	Meaning
sources	Which lists to fetch: ofac, eu, uk. All three by default.
entityTypes	Restrict to individual, entity, vessel or aircraft.
maxEntities	Stop after this many. 0 removes the cap.

{
  "sources": ["ofac", "eu", "uk"],
  "entityTypes": [],
  "maxEntities": 1000
}

Sample output

One complete record:

{
  "name": "BANCO NACIONAL DE CUBA",
  "entity_type": "entity",
  "source": "ofac",
  "regime": "CUBA",
  "nationalities": null,
  "dates_of_birth": null,
  "aliases_count": 1,
  "designated_on": null,
  "passports": null,
  "issues": ""
}

Pricing

Event	Per 1,000	Notes
Entity	$2.00	One charge per listed entity returned

All three lists in full is $63.63. There is no start fee and no per-row dataset fee.

What it does not do

It does not decide whether a name matches yours. This Actor returns clean, complete records. Screening a customer list against them is a separate decision with a risk tolerance that belongs to you, not to a default in someone else's code.

These are three lists, not all of them. OFAC, the EU consolidated list and the UK list. There is no UN, Swiss, Canadian or Australian list here, and no national lists beyond the UK.

Fields are populated unevenly. OFAC records often carry passports and dates of birth; EU records often do not. A null means the authority did not publish it, not that it does not exist.

Not every entry is identifiable. issues marks individual_without_identifiers on people listed with no date of birth and no document number. Those entries generate most false positives in name screening.

Personal data

15,991 of these records are real people, with names, dates of birth, passport numbers and addresses. Three governments publish them by law precisely so that businesses can screen against them, and anti-money-laundering screening is the reason the data is public at all.

That does not make it ordinary data. Loading it means processing personal data about identified individuals, and it requires your own legal basis and your own retention policy. It should not be used for any purpose other than the one the lists were published for.

Notes

Pull the whole list once, then re-pull daily. The lists change constantly and retrieved_at on every row is the audit trail.

Filter with entityTypes when screening only companies or only people. It reduces both the cost and the run.

aliases_count above zero means the entity is listed under other names as well. Screening only the primary name will miss those.

Support

Open the Issues tab with the source, source_id and name from the row in question.

Licence and attribution

Sanctions data from three official sources: the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union consolidated list published by the European Commission, and the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI). All three are published by the authorities for public screening use. None of them endorses this Actor.
