Individual accommodation form in Morocco: what information should you prepare?
Police form in Morocco: sections of the individual accommodation form (Decree 2-15-865), how it differs from electronic declaration and a free generator.
“Police form”, “guest form”, “registration sheet”: these terms are often mixed up. In the official Moroccan framework, the reference document is the individual accommodation form (bulletin individuel d’hébergement).
Starting from this document helps you structure collection without asking guests for too much or too little.
The reference framework: Decree No. 2-15-865
The Ministry of Tourism lists Decree No. 2-15-865 of 9 June 2016 among the legal texts governing tourist accommodation. This decree sets out:
1. the template for the individual accommodation form, in Annex 1; 2. the procedures for the electronic declaration of guest data.
Rather than reusing a form found on a forum, align your procedure with the current official model.
Sections of the model
The model in Annex 1 groups information about the guest, the stay and the establishment.
The guest
- surname and first name;
- sex;
- date and place of birth;
- nationality and country of residence;
- address;
- type and number of identity document;
- socio-professional category.
The stay
- purpose of stay;
- booking method;
- arrival and departure dates;
- number of accompanying children.
The establishment
- establishment;
- room or unit concerned.
To prepare this document, the free individual accommodation form generator works in French and Arabic, with no account.
The form and electronic declaration are not the same
The form is a document. The electronic declaration of overnight stays is a transmission process governed by specific texts. Depending on your activity, both may apply to you.
Prepare collection before check-in
Having a paper form filled in at reception takes time and produces handwriting that can be hard to read.
Plan ahead with digital checkin
With digital check-in, guests can complete their information on their phone before arrival. The data remains linked to the stay concerned.
Airbnb rentals
For a property booked through a platform, do not assume the platform has already handled what is needed. The Airbnb police form follows the same logic: the host or property management service organises its own data collection according to the applicable procedure.
Within the framework of law 09-08
Collecting identity data falls within the framework of law 09-08 on personal data protection:
- proportionality: do not request information without a clear purpose;
- security: avoid circulating document copies through messaging apps or leaving paper forms accessible;
- separate uses: data collected for the form is not meant to be freely reused for marketing.
Check before going live
Before using your form with real guests, compare it with the official model and your procedure. Make sure the team distinguishes collection, review and declaration. Repeat this check after any regulatory change.
Frequently asked questions
Is a police form needed for each guest in a group?
The form is individual. For a group or family, consult the official text and the competent authority to establish how each person should be accounted for, especially accompanying children.
Can the form be prepared online?
Yes, the information can be collected before arrival through a digital journey. Then check that the format used matches the official model and your procedure.
Does DarID send forms to the authorities?
No. DarID helps prepare and gather check-in information. The declaration is the operator’s responsibility, through the official systems provided.
