To consult land documents on site, you must submit a requisition bearing the land reference of the property, dated and signed by the interested party. A copy of the national identity card is also required. According to the leaflet from the National Agency for Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography, the request is reviewed within the day and on-site consultation can be completed in one hour.

This consultation is subject to a fee. The fixed fee is 50 dirhams per file. It is therefore a relatively quick and inexpensive process to verify the existence of documents related to a plot of land, a house, an apartment or any other registered property.

It is also possible to request a copy of deeds or documents filed in land registry files. In this case, the requisition must bear the land reference, specify the documents requested, be dated and signed by the interested party. A copy of the national identity card must also be provided. The stated processing time is one hour. The fee is set at 25 dirhams per page, with any partial page charged in full.

For land plans, the procedure is similar. The applicant must present a requisition bearing the land reference, dated and signed, with a copy of their national identity card. The request is reviewed within the day and a copy of the land plans can be issued within two hours. The fixed fee is 100 dirhams.

These procedures can be useful before a real estate transaction. They allow you to verify certain elements of the file, retrieve copies of documents or consult plans related to the property. For Moroccans living abroad, they can also prevent engaging in a sale, succession or division without having a clear picture of the land situation.
