UK Sanctions List (UKSL)	Published by the FCDO. The sole official UK source as of 28 January 2026.	Search tool: search-uk-sanctions-list.service.gov.uk
Consolidation Guidance	GOV.UK guidance on the consolidation, including format specifications and identifier mapping for organizations transitioning from OFSI Group IDs to UKSL.	gov.uk/guidance/moving-to-a-single-list
Regimes Covered	Russia, Iran (Nuclear), ISIL/Al-Qaeda, Myanmar, Belarus, Sudan, Global Human Rights, Global Anti-Corruption, Counter-Terrorism, and others — all now consolidated in the UKSL.	One search now covers regimes that previously required separate lookups.
Key Distinction	UK sanctions are autonomous from EU sanctions post-Brexit. The UK and EU lists overlap substantially but are not identical.	Screening one does not satisfy the other — both must be checked for transactions touching both jurisdictions.
