Known quirks

Aliases & Name Variants

OFAC SDN entries often include multiple aliases (AKAs), alternative spellings, or reordered name forms. The number and quality of aliases vary significantly by entry.

Weak Date of Birth Coverage

Many individual entries lack full dates of birth. Where present, dates may be limited to year-only or month/year formats.

Script & Transliteration Variants

Names originally published in non-Latin scripts (e.g., Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese) may appear in multiple Latin transliterations across aliases.
