Lost passport two weeks ago deboarding in UK

The rule in most countries is to report a lost passport to the police services and your embassy in the 24 hours after the loss. You haven’t done this but should do AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Now, for Morocco, you are required to certify that police report with the embassy (Consular site of Morocco).

This attracts a fee of 110 MAD (~8.5 GBP at time of writing).

After getting it certified, apply for both your Carte nationale d’identité electronique (CNIE, national electronic identity card) (fee: 105 MAD (~8 GBP)) and passports (fee: 1080 MAD (~84 GBP)).

For the CNIE the following pieces are needed :

In the event of deterioration, lost or stolen documents:

  • A declaration must be deposited to the agent in charge of CNIE;
  • A certificate of consular registration, indicating the current address of the person concerned;
  • Two recent identity photographs of face, in colour, on a white background, with 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm format.
  • (Uncovered face and without dark glasses).

The CNIE / or the reciept of the applicatation is required to get a passport


If you have lost your expired passport, you won’t need the below part, but still keeping it for reference, you definitely will need to get new CNIEs as it is mandatory for Moroccans to have one at all time, and especially get a BRP

For the passport :

The case of an adult person

  • Updated consular registration;
  • A valid CNIE(original + photocopy) or a photocopy of the receipt of application for the delivery or renewal of the CNIE.
  • In the event of submitting the CNIE application receipt, the interested party must also provide a birth certificate or an integral
    copy of the birth certificate less than 6 months old;
  • Two identical and recent passport photographs on white background or light blue background of format 35 mm X 45 mm;

The ILR stamp is a bit more of an issue since it may take 6 months, not withstanding that you need the new passport, to get a new Biometric Residence Permit, as the UK doesn’t issue ILR stamps anymore.

Apply again ASAP (see site) and make sure not to leave the UK or you will need to reapply for a visa before being able to reenter.
