Quick answer
Applying for direct social assistance is not simply a registration on one website. The persons concerned must first have their identifier in the National Population Register, the household must be registered in the Unified Social Register, then the application is submitted to the National Social Support Agency. The household socio-economic index and criteria specific to each assistance determine eligibility.
What to check before you begin
ANSS currently indicates an RSU index threshold of 9.743001 for access to the program, subject to other criteria. This number is sensitive to regulatory change: it must be displayed with a verification date and never presented as immutable. For a complete file, ANSS announces average processing of about 30 days, but this is not an individual guarantee.
This guide focuses on the action to complete: understanding the procedure, preparing the right information and switching to the official portal at the appropriate time. e-services.ma remains a private, independent website and does not replace the public administration.
Requirements and preliminary checks
- Actually reside in Morocco according to the program requirements.
- Have the necessary RNP identifiers for the persons concerned.
- Register the household with the RSU and have a socio-economic index meeting the current threshold.
- Meet the criteria specific to the requested assistance: household composition, children or another situation covered by the program.
Documents and information to prepare
The list below is intended to help you prepare. If the official portal displays a different or more precise list for your situation, the official list takes precedence.
- Identifiers and civil-status data required for RNP/RSU.
- Accurate information about household members.
- Telephone number and contact details available for notifications.
- Additional information or supporting documents requested by ANSS depending on the service.
How to complete the procedure: the steps
- Register the persons concerned with the RNP and retrieve the useful identifiers.
- Create or complete the household’s RSU registration.
- Check the socio-economic index and the information recorded.
- Submit the application on the ANSS ASD platform.
- Track the file status and respond quickly to any request for additional information.
Fees, deadlines and information that may change
Registration in the registers and the application must be completed through official platforms. Beware of people who offer, for payment, to “guarantee” acceptance of the file. Awarding depends on administrative and socio-economic criteria, not a private intermediary.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Submit ASD before completing RNP and RSU.
- Entering an inaccurate or outdated household composition.
- Treating the RSU index as the sole eligibility criterion.
- Share an SMS code, password or sensitive data with an intermediary.
