Marshall Islands

National jurisdiction · as of 2026-09-07

The Marshall Islands has no adult-content age-verification law, social-media minor-access restriction, app-store age-verification requirement, or age-appropriate design code.

The Criminal Code of the Republic of the Marshall Islands 2011 (31 MIRC Ch. 1) defines 'obscene' material generally for its disorderly-conduct offence (secs. 250.0-250.2) without addressing an online service, a publisher, or an age-verification duty, and separately criminalises child abuse and neglect (sec. 230.3, by reference to the Child Abuse and Neglect Act, 26 MIRC Ch. 5) and trafficking in a child (sec. 251.8), neither of which imposes a gating or access-control duty on a publisher, exhibitor, or distributor.

The Personal Data Protection Act 2025 (6 MIRC Ch. 4), researched under the privacy topic, applies only to core Government ministries and agencies and contains no parental-consent or age-verification provision.
