How do I Get a Moroccan Passport?

Citizens of Morocco must carry a current and valid Moroccan passport for international travel. Biometric passports can be obtained in Morocco or at Moroccan diplomatic missions abroad. Biometric passports contain security features to increase reliability and prevent fraudulent use of the documents. Residents of the United States who are citizens of Morocco can apply for a passport at the Moroccan Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in New York.
