Apostille for Morocco
Supplying Morocco’s automotive or pharmaceutical sectors, opening an office in Casablanca, working in Morocco or marrying a Moroccan citizen? Morocco joined the Hague Apostille Convention with effect from 14 August 2016. Several states objected to Morocco’s accession, but India did not, so between India and Morocco the MEA apostille applies. INFINITYGRO prepares the apostille for Morocco in Delhi and arranges French or Arabic translation.

apostille
Obtaining an apostille for Morocco means first verifying the Indian document at its source – a chamber of commerce for company papers, the state education department or university for degrees, the home department or SDM for civil certificates – and then having the MEA add its apostille. Moroccan courts, the commercial registry, notaries (adouls for marriage) and employers accept it with a sworn translation into French or Arabic.
Morocco embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Morocco applies
When Morocco joined in 2016, some countries objected, which is why a few foreign guides still mention Moroccan consular legalisation. India did not object; the Convention therefore operates between India and Morocco and the Moroccan Embassy in New Delhi does not add any stamp to apostilled documents.
Morocco’s automotive cluster around Tangier and Kenitra and its pharmaceutical market both source from India. Supplier registration and product dossiers commonly ask for apostilled company and manufacturing documents with French translations.
