To apply for a CRBA in Morocco, your child must be under 18 years of age and must appear in person at the embassy or one of our nine consulates.  Generally, both parents must attend the interview.  To see if your child may qualify for U.S. citizenship at birth see Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship at Birth by a Child Born Abroad and Birth of U.S. Citizens and Non-Citizen Nationals Abroad. 

To be eligible to apply for a CRBA online, you MUST meet all the following criteria:

• The child was born in Morocco
• The child is under the age of 18
• At least one parent was a U.S. citizen or U.S. non-citizen national when the child was born
• You can use a credit/debit card or a direct payment method from a U.S. dollar denominated bank account (also known as “ACH”) to pay online for your Consular Report of Birth Abroad application
• You are a biological parent of the child for whom you are applying for a CRBA

If you meet the criteria above, follow the steps below to complete a CRBA application online, upload all required documents, and submit payment prior to the in-person interview.

1. To apply for a CRBA online, you need to create a MyTravelGov account. MyTravelGov is a secured, encrypted portal. Watch this video to learn more about creating your account.
2. Once you have created a MyTravelGov account, you can access eCRBA and submit your application online. The easy-to-use online process provides applicants with step-by-step instructions on how to complete the application. You may review the necessary documents for the CRBA application in advance by reviewing this checklist (English)/ (Arabic).
3. Once you complete the online application and submit payment, you will then be directed to schedule your appointment at the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca.
