About this list
EU financial sanctions are enacted regime by regime through Council regulations. The European Commission consolidates every listed person and entity into one file — the consolidated financial sanctions list, often called the FSF — so that screening does not require tracking dozens of separate legal acts.
The consolidated XML records one entry per listed party, carrying name aliases, identification documents and the regulation behind each designation. CompliAPI extracts the machine-checkable identifiers: crypto addresses where they appear in identification records, email addresses, and identity-document numbers.
The file is distributed by the Commission through a token-gated download. CompliAPI maintains that access and republishes nothing — the data surfaces only as screening results, each carrying its designation context.
What CompliAPI extracts
- Crypto wallet addresses
- Email addresses
- Government-issued IDs — passports, national IDs, registration numbers
How CompliAPI handles it
Official Commission XML, daily
The full consolidated file is downloaded from the Commission's service daily and parsed per listed party, keeping the designation's regulation context in the match metadata.
Identifier extraction
Identity-document numbers come from the identification records; crypto addresses are recognized inside those records by address format; email addresses are extracted from contact information.
Source-scoped reconciliation
Each daily run reconciles only the EU list: new identifiers are added and removed ones are recorded as delistings, independent of every other list.
Screen against this list
Every /screen endpoint checks all enabled lists by default and names the list behind each match. Add the ?lists= filter to restrict a request to this source.

}Frequently asked questions
What is the EU consolidated financial sanctions list?
A single machine-readable file maintained by the European Commission that consolidates every person and entity subject to EU financial sanctions, across all sanctions regimes, so screeners do not have to track each Council regulation separately.
Which identifiers does CompliAPI take from the EU list?
Identity-document numbers (passports, national IDs, registration numbers), email addresses, and crypto wallet addresses where they appear in the identification records of a designation.
Does screening the EU list cover national EU-member lists too?
No — it covers designations made at EU level. National registers can go further; CompliAPI separately ingests the French Trésor asset-freeze register, which combines EU measures with France's national designations.
How current is the EU sanctions data in CompliAPI?
The consolidated file is re-ingested daily, and identifiers the Commission removes are recorded as delistings on the same schedule.
