The family book is an official document proving the existence of family ties between the various people who form a family. The family book is delivered by the consular services of the embassy to the Moroccan husband who is registered in the civil status records kept by it.

If the applicant of the family record application was born abroad and settled permanently in Morocco upon submitting the application to obtain the aforementioned notebook, the civil status officer of his place of residence shall issue the family book for his benefit.

The required documents
