How accurate is this OFAC sanctions check?

This tool uses fuzzy matching against the OFAC SDN list filtered for Venezuela-related programs. It surfaces likely matches but does not perform full ownership-chain analysis (OFAC 50% Rule) or check non-SDN sectoral lists. Always verify with the official OFAC source and consider qualified sanctions counsel for high-stakes counterparties.

What data is checked?

All 461 entries on the OFAC consolidated SDN list filtered for Venezuela programs (VENEZUELA, VENEZUELA-EO13850, VENEZUELA-EO13884), refreshed twice daily. The tool searches names, aliases, IMO numbers, aircraft tail numbers, Venezuelan cédulas, and SDN remarks fields.

Yes — the OFAC sanctions exposure checker is completely free to use, with no registration required. There is no paywall and no usage cap.

OFAC Venezuela Sanctions Exposure Checker

Type the name of an individual, company, vessel, IMO number, aircraft tail number, or Venezuelan cédula. We search every Venezuela-related entry on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and surface fuzzy matches you should investigate before transacting.

Try: PDVSA Cardon YV2954 (aircraft) IMO 9432660 Maduro

Important: This tool searches our cached copy of the OFAC SDN list filtered for Venezuela-related programs. It uses a fuzzy match against name, alias, IMO, tail number, cédula, and remarks fields, but it does NOT perform full ownership-chain analysis (the OFAC 50% Rule), check non-SDN sectoral lists, or substitute for a vetted commercial sanctions-screening provider. For high-stakes counterparties, retain qualified sanctions counsel.
