OFAC search Is this name on a sanctions list?
Search every party the US Treasury has designated, by name or by any alias it is known under, and filter by list, type, program and country. Free, no signup.
Both OFAC lists names and aliases
The Office of Foreign Assets Control publishes the parties that US persons may not deal with: the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list, and a consolidated list covering the other sanctions programs. The search covers both at once, over the primary name and every alias OFAC records, so a party is found under any name it goes by. Each result carries the programs it is designated under, its type, its addresses and countries, and OFAC's own note, which is where dates and places of birth, passport, tax and registration numbers are written. Brought up to date every day, and a party OFAC delists stops appearing the same day.

Common questions
- Where does this information come from?
- From the sanctions lists the Office of Foreign Assets Control, part of the US Treasury, publishes: the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list and the consolidated list of the other programs. Croma keeps an organized copy, brought up to date every day, and returns it structured, free and with no account.
- Is a match here a compliance decision?
- No. A name match is a starting point, not a determination. OFAC's own guidance is to confirm a hit against the party's other identifiers, the date and place of birth or a document number in the note, before acting on it. The lists carry many similar names.
- What is the difference between the two lists?
- The SDN list is the well-known one: parties whose property is blocked and with whom US persons generally may not deal. The consolidated list carries the other programs, which impose narrower restrictions rather than a full block. Both are searched together unless you pick one.
- Why is a person's name written backwards?
- OFAC writes an individual as last name first, so Ayman al-Zawahiri appears as AL-ZAWAHIRI, Ayman. The search matches word by word, so either order finds the party, and the aliases usually carry the other spellings.
