The Charles Jones Patriot Name Search is a Certified Search of lists published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of Treasury ("OFAC"), consisting of the "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons", the "Foreign Sanctions Evaders", and the comprehensive “Consolidated List”. Charles Jones offers this search as an option when ordering a Statewide Judgment Lien Search or through a separate Service Selection on our online order entry and retrieval system.

Effective September 24, 2001, Executive Order 13224 was issued (as amended by Order 13268, and 13608) and requires anyone conducting a financial transaction to determine if the person(s) with whom they are doing business are listed on the Blocked Persons list. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 requires similar checks and procedures. Later Executive Orders and sanctions have been imposed that require a check of other names that appear on OFAC's "The Consolidated List" before transacting business.

The search also provides business general information on what to do if an individual name or entity appears on your results.
