Extension of Moroccan passport validity to 10 Years awaits final decision
Tuesday 24 September 2024 - 10:41

Parliamentarians continue to press the Ministry of Interior to extend the validity of Moroccan passports from 5 to 10 years, aligning them with other official documents like the national ID card. This proposal, supported by MPs and consumer advocates, aims to reduce the financial and logistical burdens on citizens who must frequently renew their passports, a process often viewed as time-consuming and costly.

Proponents of the change argue that the extended validity would benefit citizens both within Morocco and abroad, especially the diaspora, who face additional challenges due to the distance from consular offices.
