Carte grise · Official 2026 procedure

Lost or stolen carte grise in Morocco — Duplicate 2026

The official procedure for obtaining a duplicate carte grise after loss, theft or destruction. Police report, online filing, cost and processing time.

The essentials in 30 seconds

In case of loss, theft or destruction of your carte grise, you must obtain a duplicate from NARSA. The procedure requires a prior report at the police (loss or destruction) or gendarmerie (theft), followed by online filing on tasshilat.ma.

Cost: 200 to 300 MAD. Time: 7 to 15 days. During this period, the loss-report receipt serves as your provisional proof at road checks — keep it on you at all times.

Cost and timing

Indicative cost

200 to 300 MAD

Timing

7 to 15 days

Documents needed

  • Original receipt of the loss/theft report from the police (or gendarmerie for theft). Validity: 30 days, scan it for the online filing.
  • Owner's currently valid CIN.
  • Recent proof of address (< 3 months).
  • Currently valid contrôle technique report (< 6 months) if NARSA requests it.

Procedure steps

  1. Report the loss or theft

    Visit the nearest police station (loss or destruction of the card) or gendarmerie (theft). Describe the circumstances (approximate date, place, type of event) and the vehicle's registration number. You'll receive an official-paper receipt — this serves as your provisional proof during the procedure.

  2. Connect to tasshilat.ma

    On tasshilat.ma, select "Carte grise duplicate — loss / theft". Enter your registration number and chassis number (you can find them on your insurance certificate or old dealer invoice). Choose the reason (loss, theft, destruction) — the procedure varies slightly by reason.

  3. Upload the documents

    Scan the loss-report receipt (both sides if needed), your CIN, and proof of address. PDF or JPEG, sharp and legible scans. NARSA may verify the report with the police — any inconsistency triggers rejection.

  4. Pay and wait

    Payment by CMI bank card: 200 MAD for a standard duplicate, 300 MAD if express handling requested. You receive an email confirmation with a tracking number. Legal delay is 7-15 days, sometimes more for additional verification (theft especially).

  5. Collect the duplicate

    The duplicate arrives in two phases: PDF version by email upon validation (usable immediately), then the laminated card by registered mail within 7-15 days. The duplicate carries the "DUPLICATA" mark and a new issue date; all other information (registration, owner, technical data) matches the original card.

Don't forget

  • Report the loss quickly. The police receipt has a 30-day validity for use as provisional proof and as part of the duplicate file. Beyond, you must redo the report.
  • Keep the original receipt in your vehicle until receiving the duplicate. It's the only document protecting you at a road check during the procedure (mere absence of carte grise exposes you to a 700 MAD fine).
  • Beware of paid intermediaries offering to "speed up" the procedure. The official tasshilat.ma procedure is largely sufficient; "facilitators" typically charge 500-1,500 MAD for a strictly free service.
  • Verify the absence of opposition before reusing the vehicle for sale after receiving the duplicate. A stolen-then-reissued card remains susceptible to opposition if it has circulated through malicious hands — see our opposition guide.

Frequently asked — Carte grise in Morocco

What should I do immediately after losing my carte grise?
Three actions in order: 1) search methodically at home and in your vehicle (door pocket, central console, vehicle pouch) — 60% of "losses" are misplacement. 2) If confirmed, visit the nearest police station to report the loss and obtain the receipt. 3) Keep this receipt with you as provisional proof and start the duplicate request on tasshilat.ma within 24-48 hours.
How much does a carte grise duplicate cost?
The official rate is 200 MAD for a standard duplicate via tasshilat.ma. A "priority handling" option at 300 MAD exists in some Regional Directorates — useful if you have a planned sale or urgent international travel. Beware of facilitators charging 500-1,500 MAD: they're running the same procedure you could run yourself, with their margin added.
Can I drive during the duplicate procedure?
Yes, provided you carry the original loss-report receipt issued by the police. At a road check, this receipt serves as provisional proof for 30 days. Beyond 30 days, if you still haven't received the duplicate, redo the loss report to keep a current proof.
What if my carte grise is stolen with my vehicle?
Different procedure: file a complaint with the gendarmerie (not the police) including the registration number. The gendarmerie automatically activates an opposition on the vehicle to prevent any fraudulent resale. Once the vehicle is found OR officially declared stolen, you can launch the duplicate procedure with the gendarmerie's report as supporting evidence.
Does the duplicate have the same legal value as the original carte grise?
Yes, fully. The duplicate carries the "DUPLICATA" mark and a new issue date but retains the same legal value: enforceable title, usable for transfer, contrôle technique, insurance. If your original card resurfaces after the duplicate is issued, the original automatically becomes void — destroy it to avoid any confusion.
