Global watchlist and sanctions screening.
Global watchlist screening queries international wanted files, foreign sanctions, and PEP databases beyond U.S. Treasury. NCSI includes FBI and international wanted lists in every youth-safety check; finance teams want PEPs; cross-border hiring wants the wider sanctions set.
Also called PEP screening, international watchlist, Interpol wanted, terrorist watchlist.

What it covers
Wanted-person and international-alert files in the fulfilling CRA’s bundle- Broader sanctions and PEP coverage when the package is built that way
- A layer a U.S. county search will never contain
There is no single “global watchlist” — there is a bundle a given CRA has licensed: Interpol-adjacent wanted files, foreign sanctions, PEP databases, FBI wanted. We will name the bundle you are buying instead of implying universal coverage.
What it covers
- Wanted-person and international-alert files in the fulfilling CRA’s bundle
- Broader sanctions and PEP coverage when the package is built that way
- A layer a U.S. county search will never contain
What it doesn’t cover
Equal an international criminal record search; lists are not foreign courts- Guarantee every country’s wanted file; bundles are licensed sets
- Remove the false-match problem, which grows with wider lists
Where the data comes from.
CRA-licensed global list bundles
Wanted, sanctions, and PEP files; the mix varies, and we name it in the package.
Why identity comes first.
Names change scripts across borders. vID’s document — especially a passport — gives the CRA a verified spelling to match against, which matters on PEP files.
How the network fulfills it.
Youth-safety CRAs and KYC CRAs license different bundles: NCSI is not a bank-KYC vendor, and a financial-sanctions partner is not NCSI. The network routes to the right bundle for the duty.
This is the wrong search if…
You needed a police certificate from Poland
That is international criminal, a court-or-certificate product, not a watchlist.
OFAC alone satisfies the duty
Then buy OFAC. Global is for when the duty, the NGB, or the bank policy is actually global.
Commonly ordered with.
- OFAC & sanctions screening
The U.S. core that global bundles should not replace.
- International criminal search
When you need a foreign court or certificate, not a list.
- Sex-offender registry search
U.S. registration status, which a foreign wanted list is not.

Who orders this
Frequently asked questions.
If the risk is foreign, search a foreign list.
Lists do not replace records, so still search the U.S. courts. Identity still goes first.
