Born 1971. David entered 1984-03-14: DOB year differs from source record.

Citizenship Latvia. David entered Norway: Country differs from searched country. Nationality can change, so this alone does not settle identity.

The listing gives a passport number. David supplied no identifier: No identifier supplied. Nothing was compared, so this is not a difference.

Name matching

Look beyond an exact name match.

Names don’t appear the same way in every record. Altira accounts for aliases, reordered names, common spelling variations, nicknames and phonetic similarities to find candidates an exact-name lookup can miss.

Analyst review

See why a result was returned.

Compare the details you entered with the source record. See which dates, countries and identifiers agree, which differ, and which aren’t available. Matching explanations show why the candidate appeared.

Confirm a match, mark a false positive, or leave it open for further review.

Questions

Screening questions

Which lists does Altira cover?

See Coverage for the sanctions lists and watchlists included in Altira.

View coverage
Can I screen vessels and aircraft?

Yes. Choose Vessel or Aircraft and add an identifier where available, such as a vessel’s IMO number or an aircraft registration. See Coverage for the sources available.

Can I adjust how broadly a name is searched?

Choose a screening profile to adjust the breadth of the search. Your workspace can set a default, and you can select a profile for an individual check.

What if I don’t have enough information to decide?

Leave the match open for further review. Keep the evidence and outstanding questions in a Case, and ask a colleague to review it.

Who makes the screening decision?

In single screening, you review the matches and supporting evidence directly. In AI-assisted batch review, AI prepares proposals for your review. Your team makes the final decisions in both workflows.
