FREE INSTANT TERRORIST LIST CHECK AVAILABLE FROM PERSONNEL PROFILES
Instant Search Helps Employers
Comply with Federal Regulations
Phoenix, AZ -- Personnel Profiles Employment Screening
today announced free instant lookup capability to the Department
of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control's (OFAC) Specially
Designated Nationals (SDN) list, also known as the OFAC SDN List.
The OFAC/SDN is a list of known terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities
related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction whom have been sanctioned by the Department of Treasury.
U.S. businesses and private individuals are prohibited from conducting financial transactions with these persons and entities.
"Checking the SDN List is required by federal law and should be an integral part of any company's employment
screening program," said John Evans, vice president Sales for Personnel Profiles. "Now users can easily meet that
requirement with our free instant search capability."
How It Works
The OFAC/SDN Search from Personnel Profiles provides users with the ability to instantly check the name of a
candidate against the government's database. The search compares the submitted name to the first and last name
fields and the alternative identities field contained within the database. The results will display both exact
matches and near matches. The Personnel Profiles OFAC SDN search is designed to compare names of individuals
against the government database and may not return results for prohibited vessels or entities.
About the Office of Foreign Assets Control
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces
economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign
countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers,
as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets
under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are
multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments. To learn more about the Department

Who must comply with OFAC regulations?
All U.S. persons must comply with OFAC regulations, including all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens
regardless of where they are located, all persons and entities within the United States, all U.S. incorporated
entities and their foreign branches. In the cases of certain programs, such as those regarding Cuba and North
Korea, all foreign subsidiaries owned or controlled by U.S. companies also must comply. Certain programs also
