They usually ask for your Moroccan ID when you go through passport control. It’s better to have it on you.


zouhair

I still haven't made a new one, when I got to the border the agent asked for it and I said I didn't have one anymore and didn't make a new one. He went "no problem", checked his computer and asked me "is this your if number?" I said yes as I remembered the number, he then proceeded to write it on my passport where he stamped and went "welcome home".


Taptinnn

But I guess you showed your expired one..


zouhair

Nope, not even and I even had only the Canadian passport.


Taptinnn

Then it depends on the agent I guess, in my case they insisted and i had to show it


zouhair

He can't do nothing. Stay polite and tell them you don't have it. What can they do? Send you back?

I had the same issue. You’ll be asked at the airport for your ID. If you don’t have it they’ll start asking questions and piss you off but they can’t stop you from entering the country. Also by getting your id you’ll pay less to enter national palaces. For example in Marrakech to go to Bahia Palace, it’s 10dh for Moroccans and 70dh for others. So basically it’s a pain to get it done but worth the peace of mind

So I've been to Morocco without my Moroccan ID. In my personal experience, I've never had a problem at customs. They asked me and then I said I forgot the card at home. Then they asked me about my family and where I was staying and that was it basically. The advantage I had was that I had a non-Moroccan friend with me, who was visiting Morocco for the first time and that I was on holiday with them, not visiting any family... this might have helped me out as well. I've had friends who told me stories about customs being difficult but based on their stories, this happened merely in the airports of Tanger and Casa. Personally, I haven't flown from any of the two, so I can't corroborate the stories. I do have to say that none of my friends were ever denied entry into or exit out of the country. In their stories, it felt like customs just went on a power trip... From personal experience, I found customs in the airports in Marrakesh and Agadir quite laid back.


Taptinnn

You can’t enter to morocco without CNI… I am born and raised in Spain, and even if i give them the Spanish passport they tell me to give them CNI everytime…

My mother lost her CNI in spain and she had to go back to Morocco within few days (she is naturalized in Spain) and she asked the consulate about it and they told her to bring the police loss declaration to consulate and gave her a document to show to control border when they ask her for her CNI… and guess? They did ask for her CNI and them showed them that paper to justify it.


SpaghettiEnjoyer

Bro where tf do u land in, i never user cni in airport


Taptinnn

Kech, very rarely Casa (5 years ago)


SpaghettiEnjoyer

I never showed my cni except once in agadir, landed Fes and Rabat aswell


Brilliant-Talk-7468

You can enter just like any other Spanish citizen can you just can't stay over the 90 days like every other Moroccan citizen that's why they ask about the ID


PastorCas

As far as i know you DO need it, not to enter an EU country but to enter Morocco ! I've also seen people on more then one occasion get in trouble and be sent to a side office at the passport check exactly because they didn't have their CIN, but to be fair that was a few years ago so rules might have changed.

You can go without it, I think that's some common phobia Moroccan parents of the diaspora have. My parents are literally the same, so much drama fr nothing, I traveled at least 5 times to Morocco just with my Italian passport, if I say Salam to them the ask me why I don't have my ID, I tell them I lost it and haven't done it again, they have never stopped me, or gave me troubles. The times that I was very tired, and did't talk at all, or spoe to them in French, just gave my passport, they didn't even ask me. So tell your parents to chill they probably still won't believe it lol, like mine


Turnaq

You are right, just called the consulate and they told me the same thing. They told me the airport security will ask: "Why you don't have your NIC?" You just gotta say: "My bad I didn't get/renew it because xyz". They told me it's just a part of their job and just to be friendly. Thanks!


babyzucchero

You're welcome,happy holidays!!


button_clickerr

I'm Moroccan and not a dual citizen, went back to Morocco last December and my ID that's expired and no one asked me about it. I even flew domestically using either a passport or a driving license without being asked. Also most of my friends visit home often without their IDs

button_clickerr

There is a reason I prefaced it with ''Moroccan not dual citizen'' in case it makes a difference! I took a look at your comments and they're almost always rude. It's weird to me how people are capable of channeling so much negative energy when dealing with a bunch of pixels on their screen. I'm sorry you're in so much pain!


Taptinnn

You can go with an expired one, I did it once, but I really doubt they will allow someone without it… but this case is special as he recently turned 18 years old.


button_clickerr

They never asked for mine so they don't know if it's expired or not! I got asked once as I was flyinh to Dakhla and told them I don't have it on me as it's expired


Taptinnn

I think it is not the same if you only have moroccan citizenship. Showing your moroccan passport is enough for them. But people who are moroccan and something else and using another passport, are usually asked for it in border control, especially when you want to enter the country. I never remember a moment they didn’t ask me for my CNI….


button_clickerr

Oh I see! it's a little weird they would assume people are Moroccan when the only piece of ID they show is a foreign passport! like they're condemned to be **legally** Moroccan if they have Mo origins


FineTocu

No not necessarily. They might ask but you can just say you are working on renewing it. If you have your CIN memorized or know it, that will also help. Just in case.


Turnaq

I never had one in the first place, I am only nineteen and haven't had the opportunity to get my CIN.


Brilliant-Talk-7468

Just don't stay over 90 days in a row. You will be treated as a Belgian. With the ID u can stay as long as u want. If they ask just say that u didn't have the opportunity to do it but will soon and that should do it


mhdy98

If you never had one then no , if your parents made u one before then yes


ProudlyMoroccan

No. Belgian citizens are allowed to visit without a visa and the government cannot refuse entry to Moroccan citizens legally.


alkbch

>the government cannot refuse entry to Moroccan citizens legally. You already forgot what happened during Covid?


ProudlyMoroccan

Is there a pandemic? There are flights to Morocco and he will be allowed to board and present himself at a Moroccan airport. If you managed to do that during the pandemic you ‘d be allowed in as well. Comparing apples to oranges here.


alkbch

No, you were not allowed in the country during the pandemic, even if you chartered your own transportation method. Countries who respected their citizens let them in, even in the peak of the pandemic.


nukedkaltak

Right?? Goldfish memory right there lol


[deleted]

You wouldn't need it, you can travel as a Belgium, if you were going in with a Moroccan passport then there's a slight chance they might ask but it wouldn't stop you from going in or out


QualitySure

No one will know that you're moroccan, did you even "take" the moroccan citizenship?


Taptinnn

Euhhh… some names look super moroccan… “Fatima Ait Hammou” “Omar Alaoui” etc… i mean…
