Birth Certificates

Available

Fees: MAD 2.00

Document Name: Extrait d’acte de naissance

Issuing Authority: Bureau d’Etat Civil (Municipal Registry/district City Hall)

Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: White or green/ government stamp

Issuing Authority Personnel Title: Officier d’état Civil ( Registrar/Civil Status Officer)

Registration Criteria: Hospital record/family book and vaccination

Procedure for Obtaining: Present a Livret de Famille (Family Book) to the Bureau d’Etat Civil having jurisdiction over the place of birth.

Certified Copies Available: Not applicable, originals are available at any time

Alternate Documents: Muslims who are Moroccan residents can substitute an Acte de Notoriété (affidavit by witnesses) by applying to the family court having jurisdiction over their place of birth. Moroccan Jews should apply to the rabbinic court having jurisdiction over their place of birth. The accuracy of these documents is often doubtful.

Exceptions: Non-Moroccans may obtain birth certificates if the birth occurred after 1960 in the former International Zone of Tangier, or if the birth occurred after 1956 in the former French or Spanish Protectorate Zones. Applicants should apply to the Municipal Registry (Bureau d'Etat Civil) having jurisdiction over the place of birth. Non-Moroccans whose birth was not recorded with the Bureau d'Etat Civil, or whose birth occurred prior to the dates indicated above, should contact their Embassy or Consulate for assistance.

Comments: According to Moroccan law, parents must apply for the Moroccan birth certificate within 30 days of the birth.  After 30 days, the parent(s) must engage in a lengthy court process to obtain the birth certificate.

Go to your local clerk of the court with your family book and National ID

they will issue a 90 day birth certificate /they always expire but do not worry about this

Get an English translation / you will need the original and the English for the interview

actually he should know

since they expire ,  Moroccans have to go and get a copy of this frequently/  they spent a great deal of time at the clerk's office getting documents over and over again

Hi everyone,

 

My husband is applying for AOS. We received a RFE because they didn't accept the birth certificate we provided. 

 

We submitted the quarter page green birth certificate with both of his parents names dated for December 2019 that we used for his interview at the consulate for his K1 visa. We translated the document  via immitranslate. Now we are trying to figure out what the problem was with what we submitted originally. We are reaching out to the people who translated the original document in Morocco for his interview and they are going to send us a PDF of it. 

 

My question is, did they reject the birth certificate because of the date? Does this birth certificate expire? We're hoping they will accept this new translation but it will be from the time of his interview and dated for December 2019 as well. 

 

Thank you for any help!!
