UK sanctions regimes came fully into force under the Sanctions and
Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (the Sanctions Act) at 11pm on
31 December 2020. The regulations establishing these regimes
apply in the whole of the UK, including in Northern Ireland.
Some of these regimes contain sanctions measures (for instance
asset-freezes or travel bans) which apply in respect of persons
or ships which have been designated or specified.
The UK Sanctions List
The UK government publishes the UK Sanctions List, which provides
details of those designated under regulations made under the
Sanctions Act. The list also details which sanctions measures
apply to these persons or ships, and in the case of UK
designations, provides a statement of reasons for the
designation.

Searching the UK Sanctions List
You can search for individuals, entities and ships designated or
specified under regulations made under the Sanctions and
Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 by using the UK sanctions list
search function.
Search field
Enter the name of an individual, entity or ship in the ‘Search'
field. The search tool currently only works for exact
matches. You can enter a partial name to find alternative
spellings. The search covers all parts of a sanctions
designation, including the text of the statement of reasons.
Results are listed in order of ‘Unique ID'. Use ‘Sort by' to
reorder your results by OFSI Group ID, Name, Regime Name, Type,
Designation Source, Date Designated, or Sanctions Imposed
instead.
‘More Search Options'
You can use ‘More Search Options' to refine your search and
select a specific Regime, Unique ID, Date Designated and type of
Sanctions Imposed.
Viewing the detail
Select:
- ‘Download results' to create an Open Document Spreadsheet
list of your search results
- ‘View Details' next to a specific search result to open a new
page with tabs for information on the Designation, Names,
Addresses, and about the Entity or Individual
- Once in the ‘View Details' page, select ‘Download' to
generate an Open Text Document with all of the designation
details in one document
The search database is updated alongside the UK Sanctions List.
Using the search function does not remove your obligation to
undertake appropriate due diligence in respect of designated
persons.
HM Treasury's Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation
provides a consolidated list of persons and organisations under
financial sanctions, including those under the Sanctions Act and
other UK legislation.
