How to apply for an OFAC license to unblock your funds?

To obtain an OFAC license for unblocking funds, it is necessary to submit an application for a specific license. This can be done through the OFAC online portal or by completing form TD-F 90-22.54 “Application for the Release of Blocked Funds.” The application must include a detailed description of the transaction, provide information about all parties involved in the deal, and attach supporting documents. Applications are reviewed individually, and the process may take from six to thirty months depending on the complexity of the case. Each unblocking request is analyzed considering U.S. foreign policy interests and national security requirements.
