# Isle of Man — IoM CR Lookup

**Live, direct-to-government access to Isle of Man Companies Registry — Department for Enterprise (DED).**

> Single-country variant of the cross-border [Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker](../ubo-cross-border-chain-walker/SKILL.md). Use this skill when the user is explicitly focused on **Isle of Man**.

## What you get

- **Direct query to IoM CR.** Every tool call hits Isle of Man Companies Registry — Department for Enterprise (DED) at the moment you ask. No nightly scrape, no aggregator middle layer.
- **Unmodified responses.** Field names, status codes, and (where available) raw filing bytes are returned exactly as the registry's own system emits them.
- **Native ID format support.** IoM Companies Act number — 6 digits + letter (e.g. `001234V` for 2006-Act companies).
- **Sample entity:** Sample Isle of Man Company Limited.

## Available tools (jurisdiction = `IM`)

`search_companies`, `get_company_profile`, `list_filings`, `get_document_metadata`

For every tool, pass `jurisdiction: "IM"` (case-insensitive).

## Example prompts

```
List the latest filings for an Isle of Man 2006 Act company
```

```
Find an IoM Limited by company number
```

```
Confirm a Manx company's registered agent
```

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Resolve the entity
```
search_companies({ jurisdiction: "IM", query: "<name or ID>" })
get_company_profile({ jurisdiction: "IM", company_id: "<id>" })
```

### Step 2 — Pull the relevant register slice
Pick from the available tools list above. For UBO walks across borders, return to the [Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker](../ubo-cross-border-chain-walker/SKILL.md).

## Quirks specific to Isle of Man

- Two corporate regimes coexist: **Companies Act 1931** (older, full filings) vs **Companies Act 2006** (newer, slimmer filings).
- IoM is a self-governing British Crown Dependency — common in cross-border holding structures.
- UBO register exists but is access-restricted to authorities + AML-obliged entities.
- Filings include annual returns and special resolutions — `fetch_document` returns the raw PDF.

## Provenance

- **Government URL**: <https://services.gov.im/ded/services/companiesregistry/>
