The UK Sanctions List is published by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and has been updated to include a listing of all designations made under Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA).

The UK Sanctions List has been the primary list of sanctions designations made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA) since launching in 2020. It provides a comprehensive list of those persons placed under sanctions through regulations made under SAMLA. The sanctions restrictions can include financial, immigration, trade or transport sanctions.  

From 09:00 GMT on Wednesday 28 January 2026, the UK Sanctions List (UKSL) will be the only sanctions list which details sanctions designations published by the UK government.

When the UK government makes a decision to make, vary or revoke a designation or ship specification, it will update the UK sanctions list. The link to the UK Sanctions List may be found here. Financial sanctions notices are currently published when updates are made to the UK Sanctions List. These notices are published when new listings, amendments, de-listings and corrections are made for financial sanctions designations only.

A UK Sanctions List search tool has been available on GOV.UK since July 2024.

The Agency was delegated powers by the Governor under the SI No. 22 of 2025 Sanctions Delegation and Authorisation Notice to publish lists of designated persons and keep those lists up to date on its website and provides the consolidated UK Sanctions list updates as a courtesy to all Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions based on its supervisory remit.
