Moroccan Residence Permit
Introduction

There are eight categories of Moroccan residence permit. Applicants for a resident permit are required to select the appropriate category for their situation and submit two notarized copies of all required documents. Documents should be notarized at the city hall office (Muqata鈥檃) closest to your residence.
Application Process
At the Bureau des Etrangers you will have to complete an application form and pay a fee. You will be told whether your application has been accepted or whether you need to submit more documents. If everything with your application is OK, you will be told to return to pick up your provisional residency card, called a R茅c茅piss茅, which is for use while your official Certificat d鈥橧mmatriculation is processed and printed.
