Step 3: Receive Your Report

Why You Must Do This
As of 31 January 2024, it is a criminal offence under the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 to rent to a person designated under UK sanctions. Landlords and letting agents are legally required to verify prospective tenants against the official UK Sanctions List, compiled by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
For employers and HR departments, screening individuals against the same sanctions list demonstrates strong safeguarding and due diligence practices. While not always a statutory requirement in every employment context, carrying out sanctions checks helps organisations mitigate legal, financial and reputational risk.
This service performs checks against the authoritative FCDO dataset and provides clear, time-stamped evidence reports and serially numbered certificates to support your compliance and record-keeping obligations.
