morocco id card

The Moroccan national identity card (Arabic: البطاقة الوطنية للتعريف, Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵜⴽⴰⵕⴹⴰ ⵜⴰⵏⴰⵎⵓⵔⵜ, French: carte nationale d’identité; CNI) is the biometric identity document for Moroccan citizens consisting of an electronic ID-1 smart card with identifying information. An immatriculation card (Arabic: بطاقة التسجيل, French: carte d'immatriculation), a variant of the CNI, is issued for foreigners in Morocco for visitors, students, workers, family reunification, and long-term healthcare. It is issued by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) and is compulsory after the age of 16 while being valid for a period of 10 years, but can be obtained at any age.The CNI enjoys a unique position in Moroccan society, and is used in nearly every aspect of transactional life in the country. The CNI has various usages and essentially replaces various documents; birth certificate, certificate of residence, proof of life, and certification of nationality. The DGSN procedurally coordinates with other government departments for proof of identity and confirmation of fingerprints among other uses, such as law enforcement and passports. The CNI can be used for border and migration control and as a valid travel document in the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta (for residents of Tétouan) and Melilla (for residents of Nador).The new-generation electronic identification (CNIe) is a contactless (NFC) card compliant with the ICAO DOC9303 standard and is used alongside the Mon Identité Numérique digital identity application developed by the Agency for Digital Development (ADD) for electronic identification and trust services, and was first introduced in 2020. About 20 million active CNI cards have been issued covering 85% of the Moroccan population, about 5,2 million of which are under the new-generation CNIe system.
