Moving to a single list for UK sanctions designations - 28 January 2026

Announcement:
As of 09:00 GMT on Wednesday 28 January 2026 the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets and its search tool are now closed. It will remain available for reference but will no longer be updated.

The UK Sanctions List is the only source for all UK sanctions designations. No changes have been made to the structure of the current UK Sanctions List. A format guide for the UK Sanctions List is available, which includes mappings to the fields on the OFSI Consolidated List.

What has changed:
The UK Sanctions List search tool has been improved, implementing fuzzy logic search and ranking of search results by relevancy.

The ‘Russia: list of persons named in relation to financial and investment restrictions’ has been moved to a new page with a simplified table. The list will continue to be separate and has not been merged into the UK Sanctions List.

A new set of regime pages to hold future sanctions notices has been created. These are available from the Current UK sanctions regimes collection page.

A guidance page is available to describe all changes.

The UK Sanctions List from FCDO lists which people, entities and ships are designated or specified under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and why.

The OFSI Consolidated List from HMT provides information relating to asset freeze and investment ban targets across all financial sanctions regimes implemented in the UK. This list will close at 09:00GMT on Wednesday 28 January 2026. Guidance has been published to help you prepare for the change.
