Once issued, the original Certificate must be carried on the vessel at all times and must be presented on demand to the authorities of any State Party to the Convention while within the jurisdiction of such State.
NOTE: Completion of an Application Form and payment of the Application Fee does not guarantee the issue of a Certificate. Certificates will only be issued once the Cook Islands Administration is satisfied that the vessel is in compliance with the requirements of the Convention. No refunds will be given.
