There are several documents that you will need in order to marry in Morocco. One thing that you might want to get started on is getting a copy of your police record from the state you currently live in (as well as translating that copy in to Arabic). You'll also need to schedule an appointment at the US consulate in Casablanca in order to receive the Affidavit of Nationality and Eligibility to Marry. You'll need an English and Arabic copy of your birth certificate, as well as English and Arabic copies of divorce decrees (if any). 

 

When you are in Morocco, have the passport photos done (it's much cheaper do them in Morocco than do have them done in the US!), and you will need a medical certificate from a doctor in Morocco as well. 

 

Here is the consulate's list of things you need to marry in Morocco: https://ma.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/marriage-information/

 

Here's also a recent thread that discusses steps to marry in Morocco:
