Getting a new passport

[sarah and hicham 3]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is in the right place but anyways...

My husband's passport took a trip through the washing machine (I know I know) a while ago and since then he has gotten his GC. He wants to get a new passport because his is hard to read in some places and doesn't look too good. If we make copies of his passport and send it in to the Moroccan Consulate in the US for a new passport, will he get his old one back with his visa in it? I assume he doesn't need the visa anymore since he has his GC but I don't want to do anything stupid.

So is it ok to get a new passport now that he has his GC?

Thanks everyone!

Hi there.

I do not know, how the state of Morroco handles this in general, but in Germany you can get your old passport back, especially if there is a visa in it (althoughI really think he does not need it anymore now that he has his GC), if you ask for it when you apply for a new one. All they do is, put a stamp or mark in it that shows it is not valid anymore.

Just call them and ask about it. I am pretty sure you will have to send the original passport in though, cannot go with copies.

Good luck!

In my country too, I can get my old passport back, and I have it, but they put some stamp in there and made holes. Contact Morroco embassy and find out.
