Wraqi.ma: Legalise a Signature and Certify a Document Online from Abroad | MRE Guide 2026

Wraqi.ma (formerly Wracki.ma) is the official portal for notarial and legalization services in Morocco. MREs can use it to: track their requests for signature legalization and certified true copies filed through Moroccan consulates, check the progress of administrative documents, and access certain official forms. The portal does not yet allow fully online legalization, but facilitates file tracking.

Signature legalization for an MRE can be done: 1) At the Moroccan consulate in the country of residence (in-person appearance with ID and the document to sign before the consul), 2) With a local foreign notary if the document will be used in the country of residence (but not for Moroccan deeds), 3) By apostille if the issuing country is a member of the Apostille Convention. For acts intended for Moroccan administration, Moroccan consular legalization is the standard route.

For a certified true copy of a Moroccan document (birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, etc.): 1) If the original document is abroad, the MRE can present it to the Moroccan consulate for certification, 2) If the document is in Morocco, a relative can request the certified copy from the issuing authority (civil registry, university, court) and send it by mail, 3) Some documents can be obtained directly from the Moroccan authority via a power of attorney.

Yes, Morocco has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since August 14, 2016. This means that official Moroccan documents (civil status records, judgments, authenticated diplomas) can be apostilled in Morocco for use in the 125 member countries without additional legalization. The apostille is affixed by the Moroccan Ministry of Justice (for judicial acts) or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (for civil status acts). The application can be made online or in person.

The consular legalization timeframe varies by Moroccan consulate. In France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille), an appointment is generally required (available at rdv.consulat.ma) and processing is done the same day or within 24 to 48 hours. Consular fees for signature legalization are generally nominal (5 to 20 euros depending on the consulate). Some consulates allow tracking via the Wraqi.ma portal. Private agencies offer intermediary services at higher rates.

Yes. Moroccan consular legalization gives the document authenticity recognized by all Moroccan administrations (DGI, CNSS, courts, land registries, etc.). It is equivalent to a signature legalization performed by a caïd or local authority in Morocco. The legalized document can be used directly without further formalities. However, if the document also needs to be used in a third country (other than Morocco or the MRE's country of residence), an additional apostille may be necessary.

Yes. A foreign document (birth, marriage, diploma, judgment) intended for use in Morocco must be authenticated according to the applicable procedure: if the issuing country is a member of the Apostille Convention, an apostille affixed in that country is sufficient for recognition in Morocco. If the country is not a member, the document must be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country of origin, then by the Moroccan embassy or consulate in that country. A certified Arabic translation is still required in all cases.
