moroccan passport renewal, laisser passer or passport extension??

[MT&SEL__ 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm a permanent resident here in the US and my Moroccan passport expired few months ago, i want to go for a visit back home for an emergency in the coming weeks and I'm seeking your advice on how to do that.

I have few questions that i need to get some answers on because the consulate doesn't go it's job unfortunately:

1. I'm considering travelling to NYC to apply for a new passport, will i get it in the same day? (the expire passport and the CIN are both biometric ones )
2. can i extend my expired passport, if yes, will it be done in the same day if i go to NYC and apply or that?
3. in case i choose to apply or a laisser-passer document to travel, can i get it in the same day?
4. in case i want my hubby to do the process instead of me, to travel to NYC and apply or any of the above documents, is he allowed to or i need to be there in person?

Thank you.

Due to the fact you're an actual citizen of Morocco, you would be unable to use a RE-entry permit issued by USCIS to travel to morocco (as morocco requires Moroccan citizens to travel on their passport)

---

The policy of getting an Laissez-Passer is up to the moroccan government. What you're asking is not in the realm of what visajourney can assist with. this is a matter of Morocco's policy and the Moroccan Consulate's policy.

FYI, it took us 7 days exactly to send my husbands passport for renewal and received it back . They are very quick in NY

all the forms that are needed are on their website, and don't forget the passport pics and the money order.

Passport pic required are not the standard 2 x 2 as in the USA uses. So you have to find some one who makes them, maybe a passport agency, we went to one in Houston and they made the sizes we need for Moroccan passport pics.

They are hard to contact, just keep trying.

We just sent the forms to renew my husbands without speaking to the consulate. No issues at all

You can extend one year on your expired passport. Not sure if you'll get it back the same day or later.

Beth, did they return his expired passport along with the new one? Also, which kind of prepaid envelope did you send? USPS or Fedex or something similar?

I appreciate your help. We get nervous about sending off my husband's expired passport with no communication from them, so we keep postponing it, but we really need to do it soon.

Good morning. Okay, here is the story.

WE thought he lost his passport, we found it after he got his new one.

I was able to get in touch with the Moroccan consulate in NY, talked to Mr. Ali, told him Achraf lost his passport, blah blah blah He told me to fill out the forms for a lost passport, and send to then in NY

We filled out the form, got money order for the fee, I think it was $65.00 and 2 passport pic , size according to their website, I send the packet to then via USPS overnight, so I can see who signed for it, and a return USPS envelope for them to send the new one. Got a new one in 7 days exactly... no issues at all Was able to track both USPS packets from then receiving it, to them send his new one.

I did put in a copy of his Moroccan ID , and full copy of his old passport, front cover to back cover and pages inside passport, along with a short paragraph of where to contact us if any questions.... never heard from them, only communication was a new passport for Achraf

Hi!  I've been trying to find the website for the Moroccan consulate in NY and I keep finding suspicious looking websites.  Do you have the link for the actual consulate?  Thanks so much!

Here is it  & yes it does look a bit off, but I think its legit.

 

I also called way back then, a Mr. Ali was so nice and helpful when I had questions.  Try calling and asking for him.

I need to also contact the consulate, my husband Moroccan ID card expired.   Best to get it while his citizenship petition is processing - pending.
