Find your

island bliss

Cook Islands

With 15 gorgeous islands making up this beautiful nation,

it’s easy to find your own happy place.

Making it legal

When you arrive in Rarotonga, you’ll need to apply in person to the Registrar of Marriages in the Cook Islands, allowing a minimum of three days for your application to be processed. Take your passport when completing a Notice of Intended Marriage at the Registrar’s office in Avarua, and ensure you have a copy of the Decree Nisi (divorce documents) if you’re divorced. The legal age of consent in the Cook Islands is 20; if you’re younger, you’ll need your parents’ written approval.
