UK FCDO Sanctions List

Official register of individuals, entities, and vessel subject to UK sanctions under regulations made pursuant to the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018.

The UK Sanctions List provides information on all current UK sanctions designations made under the 2018 Act. It covers individuals, companies, and vessels subject to financial restrictions, travel bans, and trade or transport controls, and is updated whenever a designation is created, changed, or revoked. Each entry shows the sanctions measures that apply, and for UK designations includes a statement of reasons. From 28 January 2026 the UK Sanctions List will be the single official source for all UK sanctions designations.
