This tool aids due diligence. It does not certify compliance. Human review is always required, and you make the final decision.
Free sanctions check of names
You enter one name or upload a CSV or XLSX file. The result shows on the page at once. No signup, credit card, or email are needed. Names are checked against 10 official sanctions lists that are refreshed daily.
Up to 10 names per visitor in any 24 hours are free, typed or from a file. To screen a whole list, use the paid batch report.
How It Works
Simple, three-step screening.
Upload Your List
Upload a CSV or XLSX file. Confirm the name column using our automatic detection feature. We always show you the mapping, and no screening starts without your confirmation.
Screen Against 10 Lists
Each name is automatically checked against OFAC SDN, the US Consolidated Screening List (US CSL), the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels (the national designations published by the Direction générale du Trésor), Poland's national sanctions list (MSWiA), the Swiss SECO consolidated list, and Canada's and Australia's consolidated lists, once per job, at every pricing tier.
Download Your Report
Receive a detailed PDF, CSV, and JSON report. Each report includes match results and a list version/timestamp for every list, even where there was no match.
What a match means and what you do next
The compared names and aliases
Your name is compared with the main name and every alias of the list entry. Spelling variants and transliterations count. Legal forms such as Ltd or GmbH are left out.
Strong and Possible name matches
Each match gets a name score and a band, Strong name match or Possible name match. The score compares names only. The country and the date of birth are shown when your file has them.
What you do with a match
A match is not a finding. Compare the country, the date of birth and other details with the list entry. Record your decision on the decision line under each match in the PDF.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this tool a legal compliance certification?
No. This tool is a due-diligence aid. It does not certify compliance or provide legal advice. All potential matches require human review, and you are responsible for your own compliance decisions.
Which sanctions lists are checked?
We check all 10 official lists: OFAC SDN, the US Consolidated Screening List (CSL), the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels, Poland's lista sankcyjna MSWiA, the Swiss SECO consolidated list, and Canada's and Australia's consolidated lists. All tiers check all 10 lists, including the free check.
Where is my data processed and stored?
Name matching normally runs on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH in Helsinki, Finland, processing screened names in memory only. If that server is not available or returns an error, or if we switch it off, the matching runs in Cloudflare's network instead, which can be outside the EU. We store data using Cloudflare's Eastern Europe region (location hint EEUR), a placement preference, not a legal jurisdiction restriction, and requests may be processed at Cloudflare's global edge network, which can be outside the EU. Batch job files and generated reports are deleted automatically no later than 24 hours after upload, and your customer data is not used to train any AI model.
Is this a subscription service?
No. This is a one-time payment per batch screening job. There is no recurring charge and no expiry on your downloaded report.
What if I need to screen more names later, or on a regular schedule?
You can buy another batch screening tier whenever you need one. We do not currently offer a subscription or monitoring service. We do not promise features that are not built yet.
How current are the sanctions lists?
Each of the 10 official lists is refreshed daily from its source. Every report and free check result includes a specific timestamp for each list, so you can see how current the data was at the time you screened.
Can I try the check for free, also with a file of names?
Up to 10 names per visitor in any 24 hours are free, typed one by one or from a CSV or XLSX file. With a file, the free check screens the first names (as many as free names left) and gives a PDF, CSV, JSON report of those rows, marked as a preview. No signup and no email. The file and its results are deleted 24 hours after upload. To screen every row, buy a one-time pack (from €19, no subscription). When you pay in the same browser tab before the file is deleted, with a pack that holds all its rows, the same file is used and no new upload is needed.
