An MP-led law proposal seeks to include the Amazigh language alongside Arabic on the country’s national identification cards.
The MPs Hespress AR spoke to say including Amazigh on IDs is necessary for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures equal representation of both official languages as mandated by the constitution. Currently, Moroccan IDs use Arabic and French.
Secondly, including Amazigh aims to remove communication barriers citizens face in public service settings.
Finally, the proposal emphasizes the technical feasibility of updating ID cards to reflect both languages.
The proposed changes aim to add Amazigh to various sections of the ID card, which includes personal details like name and birthplace, the issuing authority, and information on lineage and residential address on both sides of the card.
