How to read this search: Spanish-language naming conventions make this query ambiguous. In the OFAC SDN format "RODRIGUEZ HERNANDEZ, Juan" the first token is the paternal surname (apellido paterno), the second is the maternal surname (apellido materno), and the given name follows the comma. A compliance officer screening a counterparty named "Juan Rodriguez" in a Venezuelan contract should also test "Rodriguez" or "Hernandez" as single-surname queries and check every active Venezuela SDN that shares either surname — we surface that full list below.

How was this name-check verified?

We query the official OFAC consolidated SDN CSV and alias CSV from sanctionslistservice.ofac.treas.gov. The results on this page reflect the dataset snapshot on 2026-04-24 and are re-validated whenever our scraper ingests a new OFAC publication (typically daily). For authoritative compliance decisions you must still verify directly with OFAC's Sanctions List Search.

What should I do if I am screening a real Venezuelan counterparty?

Re-run the query in our free OFAC Venezuela Sanctions Exposure Checker with alternative spellings (with/without accents, paternal surname only, given name first) and also test the Venezuelan cédula number if you have it. The checker searches names, aliases, IMO numbers, aircraft tail numbers, and cédulas. For high-stakes counterparties retain qualified sanctions counsel and perform an ownership-chain analysis (OFAC 50% Rule).
