Sanctions screening in Belgium
Companies in Belgium must comply with EU sanctions, which apply directly in every member state, and with UN Security Council sanctions implemented through them. Ulawk screens a company, its officers and shareholders against these and every other list in the table by exact name, recording each screening in a PDF with the list versions used.

How to
Screening, step by step.
From a company in Belgium to a screening record you can file.
Belgium: EU sanctions apply directly.
Lists are downloaded daily from their official publishers.
Start from the company
Add the company by its enterprise number: its officers then come from the official record of Belgium.
See what is screened
For a company you follow in Belgium, the company name and its officers from the official record are screened. The register of Belgium does not give Ulawk the shareholders: add their names to bulk screening.
Review the hits
Each hit shows the list, the programme and the list record. Exact normalised names only; transliteration variants appear as possible matches.
Record your decision
Mark a match as not the same person, with a reason. The decision is kept with the screening.
Keep the evidence
Download a PDF screening record: names screened, list versions, match rule, results and decisions, with a verification number.
Screen in bulk
Paste a list of counterparties and download the result as CSV.

Every list Ulawk screens.

Limits
What the screening does not do.
Said plainly, so you know what to check yourself.
No fuzzy matching
A misspelt or reordered name in your own data is not caught; enter names as they appear in official documents.
Not an identity check
A hit is a possible match. Confirm it with the date of birth, nationality or registration number in the list record.
Official lists only
The PDF screening record covers official lists; politically exposed persons are not part of it.
Which sanctions lists apply in Belgium?
Belgium applies EU sanctions: EU sanctions regulations apply directly in every member state, and UN Security Council sanctions are implemented through them. Ulawk screens the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List and the UN list.
Does Ulawk screen the officers and shareholders of companies in Belgium?
For a company you follow in Belgium, the company name and its officers from the official record are screened. The register of Belgium does not give Ulawk the shareholders: add their names to bulk screening.
Is Belgium on the FATF high-risk lists?
Not on the FATF lists of high-risk jurisdictions or jurisdictions under increased monitoring (FATF statement of 30 October 2026).
How does Ulawk match names?
Names are normalised and must match exactly: there is no fuzzy matching. Transliteration variants are shown as possible matches, not hits. A hit is a possible match, not proof of identity; where the register publishes a date of birth it is compared with the list record.
How current are the lists?
Every list is downloaded daily from its official publisher. Each hit and each PDF screening record shows the list version it was checked against.
