Moroccans Abroad to Access Police Records Online
In a significant advancement for Moroccans living outside the nation, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) is set to launch an innovative online service on November 9. This new initiative will allow Moroccan expatriates to request extracts of their police records through the DGSN's electronic portal, www.epolice.ma, eliminating the need for them to travel back to Morocco for this administrative procedure. This announcement was made via a statement from the Embassy of Morocco in Mali, highlighting the government's commitment to enhancing the accessibility of public services for its citizens abroad.
The online platform is designed to facilitate a more streamlined process for Moroccan nationals living overseas. By completing electronic identity verification and paying the requisite fees online, applicants can initiate their requests without the hurdles of in-person visits. However, it is important to note that while the application can be submitted remotely, the final document must be collected in person from the relevant Moroccan diplomatic or consular representation.
This initiative is part of Morocco's broader strategy to digitize public services and make administrative processes more user-friendly. The DGSN had previously introduced the E-Police portal in December 2024, which allowed citizens to access a variety of police-related services online, including requests for police record extracts. The new service extension to Moroccans abroad signifies a continued effort to simplify procedures and increase accessibility to essential governmental services.
Furthermore, Minister of Digital Transition, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, has articulated that Morocco's digital transformation aims to fundamentally reshape the delivery of public services. During a speech in February 2026, she emphasized the importance of designing services that cater to the needs of citizens, streamlining procedures, and ensuring secure access to these essential services. This initiative reflects Morocco's ongoing commitment to enhancing the efficiency of its public administration while fostering a closer relationship with its citizens, no matter where they reside.
