Sample check

What a Verifex result looks like.

Three sample name checks, one for each result you need to tell apart. Every name, list entry and record ID on this page is invented.

Three results, three different next steps.

No match found, a potential match for review, and a check that could not finish. Each one keeps a record of what was checked.

No match found

No match found in the lists checked

Every required list answered and nothing similar enough to the name was found. This is a statement about the lists checked, not a judgement that the person is safe.

Name checked: Mira Kestavol (invented)
Type: Person
Required lists: OFAC, UN, EU, UK: all checked
Other lists: Checked; any list that was out of date or unavailable is named on the result
Record ID: scr_sample_7f3a91 (sample)

What happens next: No candidate to review in the lists checked. The record of the check is kept so you can show what was checked later.

Potential match

Potential match — review required

A listed name is close to the name checked. That is not a finding: a person on your team compares the details and decides whether it is the same party.

Name checked: Dorian Velkarov (invented)
Type: Person
Required lists: OFAC, UN, EU, UK: all checked
Record ID: scr_sample_2c84d0 (sample)

The listed entry that is close

Listed name: VELKAROV, Dorian Petrovich (invented entry)
List: OFAC SDN (sample entry)
Similarity: 91 of 100
Why it is close: Same first name and surname; the listed entry adds a middle name. Date of birth and nationality were not sent, so they cannot be compared.

What happens next: Review the entry side by side with what you know about the customer, record your decision and the reason.

Check incomplete

Not a no-match: a required list could not be checked

One required list did not answer, so Verifex does not call this result a no-match. If a required list wasn't checked, we tell you instead of hiding it.

Name checked: Halvard Ostrin Trading Ltd (invented)
Type: Company
Required lists: OFAC, UN, UK: checked · EU: could not be checked
Record ID: scr_sample_9b1e57 (sample)

What happens next: Treat the name as unchecked against the missing list: hold or retry, according to your own policy.

Sample data only. Verifex checks names, not identity documents, and it supports your screening process: your team stays responsible for who is screened and for the decision on each potential match. Principal PEPs are included; relatives and close associates are not.
