Screening Hit Resolver

Your customer (name, DOB or registration, country, IDs): Ivan Sergeyevich Petrov, DOB 1975-03-02, born Novosibirsk, Russian national, passport 72 1234567, resident Limassol, Cyprus

The watchlist hit (list name and matched entry): OFAC SDN entry: PETROV, Ivan Ivanovich; DOB 1968; POB Moscow; program RUSSIA-EO14024

Your screening context or risk policy (optional): Onboarding of a private banking client; EU and UK lists apply; match score 87%

Petrov, Ivan Sergeyevich vs OFAC SDN "PETROV, Ivan Ivanovich": Needs Information (leaning false positive)

Interpretation: the customer is a private individual; the alert is the 87% name match to the OFAC SDN entry the analyst described. EU and UK lists apply per the onboarding policy. Lookups run 5 October 2026. Listed-entry values in the table are as supplied by the analyst; the match calls against them are therefore provisional.

Disposition

Needs information. I could not retrieve an official OFAC SDN entry named PETROV, Ivan Ivanovich (DOB 1968, POB Moscow, RUSSIA-EO14024), so the entry cannot be compared at source. The identifiers the analyst supplied for the entry conflict with the customer on patronymic, birth year and birthplace, which points to a false positive. Under the SOP an unretrievable official entry cannot be cleared on that basis alone.

Deciding factors

Information to request

Analyst note

Alert: 87% name match between customer Ivan Sergeyevich Petrov (born 2 March 1975, Novosibirsk, Russian, passport 72 1234567, Limassol) and OFAC SDN "PETROV, Ivan Ivanovich" (DOB 1968, POB Moscow, RUSSIA-EO14024). I could not locate that entry in the OpenSanctions SDN mirror or in the fragments of the official sdn.csv that I could extract, so it could not be verified at source. On the supplied values, patronymic, birth year and birthplace all conflict, which supports a false positive. Disposition is Needs information until the entry reference is confirmed and passport data is verified. This is a recommendation for the analyst to confirm, not a legal determination.

Coverage

Not reached: the official OFAC Sanctions List Search (interactive), and the EU and UK consolidated lists, which were not checked directly. The OFAC CSV was read only as extracted excerpts. No Ivan Ivanovich Petrov designation press release was found, so the listed party's identity could not be confirmed from a second source.
