Current UK Sanctions List coverage

Use the current FCDO UK Sanctions List and distinguish it from the retired OFSI consolidated feed.

Use the current list

The UK government identifies the UK Sanctions List as the current source for UK sanctions designations. The former OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets closed on 28 January 2026 and no longer receives updates. SanctionsKit’s uk-sanctions adapter reads the FCDO UK Sanctions List XML.

The list includes people, entities, and ships under the relevant regulations. Source details and measure descriptions need to remain visible because different restrictions can apply. A result should not imply that every UK list entry carries the same set of measures.

Keep the dates distinct

The adapter separates designation dates, record updates, and document generation metadata. A document generation date is not evidence that each entry first became legally effective on that date.

The UK Sanctions List source profile shows current records and refresh information. Separate UK financial and investment restriction material has its own scope. A check against this named source does not silently include every UK restriction; keep the selected sources visible in the result.

Choosing available coverage

Choose the sources relevant to your workflow from current coverage. The directory shows available sources, record counts, and successful refresh times. The public demonstration and sandbox use invented records; production requests use the coverage you select.

Use source discovery to select named sources or a versioned package. Requested sources that are unknown, unavailable, or too stale cause an explicit error. SanctionsKit does not silently remove them from your request or report an incomplete check as a no-match result.
