469. Does OFAC issue certificates of non-inclusion, or issue a so-called "safe list" to help prove that an entity or individual is not on one of OFAC’s sanctions lists?

Answer

No. OFAC does not issue non-inclusion certificates to show an entity or individual is not listed on one of OFAC’s sanctions lists, nor does OFAC publish a “safe list.” For questions regarding whether a specific entity or individual may be a positive match to an entry on one of OFAC’s sanctions lists, please see FAQ 5 or the OFAC Basics Videos Series.
