Quick answer
Use cnie.ma and official DGSN channels to check the procedure corresponding to your reason for renewal. In 2026, DGSN also announced new digital processes around proof of residence and preparing requests; however, services available online must be distinguished from steps that still require physical attendance or identity verification.
What to check before you begin
The CNIE is a sensitive identity document: renewal arrangements vary by reason. An address change, loss, expiry or civil-status change may require different supporting documents. Use the general process to prepare, then confirm the exact list of documents on the official service.
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
- Identify the exact reason for renewal.
- Have supporting documents corresponding to this reason and to your civil-status or address situation.
- Check whether proof or a residence certificate is required for your case.
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.
- Previous CNIE when available.
- Supporting documents required for the renewal reason.
- Photo and civil-status documents according to official instructions.
- Appropriate declaration or proof in case of loss or theft.
How to complete the procedure: the steps

- Complete the available digital formalities and pay the fees according to official instructions.
- Go to the competent service when fingerprinting, identification or physical filing is required.

Fees, deadlines and information that may change
Fees and payment methods may change. Display the official source and a verification date rather than freezing a tariff on the page if you do not have an up-to-date regulatory source.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Follow a checklist corresponding to a different reason for renewal.
- Paying or transmitting data on an unofficial domain.
- Forget to check supporting documents relating to address or civil status.
