An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Cook Islands that means Cook Islands’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Cook Islands, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Cook Islands issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Cook Islands concern corporate and trust matters. English documents are accepted without translation.
Authority fee: NZ $20 per Apostille (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)
