In this article, we provide crucial information for British citizens residing or travelling in Morocco.

The British Embassy in Rabat and the Honorary Consulate in Marrakech are open to offer consular support for various needs. For those planning their trips more than three weeks ahead, it's advisable to check if a new or replacement passport can be obtained in time.

If you require notarial or documentary services, including legalisation, you can find detailed information on the British Embassy Rabat's notarial and documentary services page. It's essential to note that the British Embassy in Rabat also offers legalisation services for documents that did not originate in the UK.

In case of lost, stolen, damaged, or expired passports, or when a new or replacement passport cannot be obtained in time for travel, an emergency travel document can be applied for. If you are under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on your behalf.

It's important to remember that the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not provide consular support to non-British citizens unless they are in an emergency or vulnerable situation. If you are not a British citizen but believe you may be eligible, contact the authorities to apply for an emergency travel document.
