Politically Exposed Persons Datasets

JSON

A politically exposed person (PEP) is a person that has been entrusted with a prominent public function. PEPs include elected officials and members of government.

This collection contains data about politically exposed persons (PEPs) from multiple sources. We include lists of office-holders both directly from official sources like governments and also from third-party sources that have been aggregated by other organizations.

IMPORTANT: We discourage the use of this collection on its own, as it does not include some relevant information from enrichment sources. Read the FAQ item.
