Quick answer
Before ordering, check that the recipient administration actually requires a full copy rather than a simple extract. On Watiqa, the process is to select the civil-status office, choose the document, indicate delivery, validate data, pay displayed fees and then track the order.
What to check before you begin
The full copy is often requested for files requiring more entries than the extract. This requirement comes from the organization receiving your file: e-services.ma must not claim that one type of document is universally suitable. If the document is to be used abroad, separately check translation, apostille or legalization requirements.
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
- The civil-status office concerned must be available in the Watiqa service for the requested order.
- The information used to locate the civil-status record must be exact.
- The person placing the order must meet the access or capacity requirements applicable to the document.
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.
- Civil-status data required to identify the record.
- Information relating to the registration office.
- Delivery address and contact details.
- Accepted payment method when fees are due.
How to complete the procedure: the steps
- Open Watiqa and choose the competent administration or office.
- Select the full copy rather than the extract.
- Enter the civil-status record and delivery details.
- Check the summary, number of copies and fees.
- Pay, keep the confirmation and track delivery.
Fees, deadlines and information that may change
Watiqa displays fees at the time of the order. These may include document fees, registered delivery and other processing or payment charges. The amount displayed in your basket is the practical reference when validating.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Confusing a full copy with an extract.
- Order before checking the validity period required by the recipient.
- Choose the wrong civil-status office or place of consular transcription.
- Add an apostille or translation without checking whether it is actually required.
