Police Certificates

Depending on the visa you are applying for or how long you plan to stay in the Cook Islands, you may need to provide a police certificate as evidence of your good character.

A police certificate is a document that is issued by the police or a government agency that:

  • provides information about any criminal record you may have
  • are based on official records and checks
  • may be called a criminal check or police clearance

If you are required to provide a police certificate, it must be;

  • issued by a national or federal police department
  • no older than 6 months old, when you submit your visa application
  • must be in English, or accompanied by an official English translation.
