See how two names compare after transliteration, word-order and honorific normalisation, the way screening tools do.
Screening lists (OFAC SDN, EU, UN) hold names with transliteration variants, different word order and honorifics. This tool shows how two names compare after the normalising a screener does. It is an explainer, not a legal clearance: it contains no sanctions data, and a low score does not mean a person is not listed.
To screen a real list of names against the official sanctions lists, sanctions-screening on the Apify Store runs it in bulk and returns structured data. This page is free and stays free: it runs entirely in your browser, makes no network requests, stores nothing and has no tracking.
