Hello,
My husbands Moroccan passport will expire in September. He is a green card holder. We would like to renew his passport by mail since we are not located near NY. I contacted the consulate and they sent me the following things that he will need:
-The original Moroccan passport (this original passport will be sent back to you with the new passport).
-2 pictures (American passport pictures size)
-A Certified Copy of your (carte nationale) has to be valid (otherwise your presence at our office will is mandatory for the fingerings in order to issue the ID card
-Fees are a money order of 85.63 payable to the Moroccan Consulate of Morocco in New York
-A money order of 6.97$ fees for the registration at the Consulate (payable to the Moroccan Consulate). you can also pay cash if you come in person to our office in New York,
*please send us separate -Money orders*
-Fill out the Attached form (fiche individuelle)
-A proof of your address or any billing under your name
- A certified copy of your American ID or a copy of your Green Card
- A prepaid envelope for the return
NB: the passport takes up to 6 weeks to be issued in Morocco or more, but as soon as your new passport is issued in Morocco, you will receive an automatic message in French language to pick up your new passport, after few days we send it to you via the envelope you have included with your application (sent to us)
A prepaid certified envelope for the return.
In case you choose to process your document via mail please send a document with your contact info and the designated service: first/last name, phone number, address email, concerned department.
The questions I have are they mention a certified copy of his carte nationale. Can this just be a regular copy done on the copy machine or do we need to take his card somewhere and have a special copy done? He has a new Carte nationale that he got in Morocco in March.
How much postage is needed for the return envelope?
I was thinking to do one with tracking, but will the tracking number still be good if it takes 6 weeks or more to renew?
The last part states to include a document with contact info. Is this just a piece of paper with his information on it or is it something different needed?
Any advice is appreciated.
