Morocco is a Hague Apostille country (in force since 14 August 2016). A single apostille from the correct Canadian authority is accepted in Morocco, no embassy or consular legalization step. Because Canada joined the Convention without any objection, Canadian apostilles are accepted there.

How your document is routed in Canada
The Canadian authority depends on where your document was issued or notarized, not on where you live. See the document guides and the by-province overview for the exact authority, fee and timeline.
Most-requested documents for Morocco include family reunification, marriage, study, retirement and property. Common examples are RCMP checks, birth and marriage certificates, and degrees, each with its own routing, which we confirm at pre-check.
Common questions
Does Morocco accept Canadian apostilles?
Yes. Morocco is a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention, and Canada's accession was accepted without objection, so a Canadian apostille is accepted in Morocco with no embassy or consular legalization step.
Which authority apostilles my document?
The authority is decided by where the document was issued or notarized, Québec, Ontario, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan have their own; federal documents and all other provinces go to Global Affairs Canada.
Do I need a translation?
French is widely used in Morocco, so French documents are often workable; an Arabic translation may be required by the receiving authority. We confirm what your destination needs at pre-check.
