Airbnb police form in Morocco: booking, individual accommodation form, guest data and steps to prepare before check in.

You are hosting a guest in an apartment or a villa. Their arrival is getting close, but the information needed for the form is still spread across the booking, your messages and a passport photo.
The right habit is to prepare the file before arrival. That way, you do not discover at the last minute that something is missing.
Police form and individual accommodation form: what are we talking about?
On Google, “police form” is the most common search term. Morocco’s official framework refers in particular to the individual accommodation form (bulletin individuel d’hébergement). Decree No. 2-15-865 sets out a model form and governs the electronic declaration of guest data for tourist accommodation establishments and other forms of tourist accommodation.
The rules that apply depend on your activity and your situation. Always check the official texts and the instructions of the competent authority.
Airbnb is a channel, not an administrative procedure
A booking received through Airbnb does not replace the formalities that may apply to the accommodation. So keep three things apart: the commercial booking, the information needed to welcome the guest, and the administrative formalities that apply to your category of accommodation. This avoids assuming that a booking platform has already collected everything you need.
For each arrival, start from your own procedure. Check the status of your accommodation, the information actually required, when it must be collected and who handles it. A concierge company managing several properties also needs to know who reviews the file and where the team can find the information.
Link the guest to the right stay
Start with the elements that give the context: property, arrival date and planned departure. The guest file must stay linked to the stay it belongs to.
Prepare the information for the form
The model in Annex No. 1 of Decree No. 2-15-865 includes several items about the guest, their identity and their stay: surname and first name, sex, date and place of birth, nationality, country of residence, address, type and number of identity document, number of accompanying children, socio-professional category, purpose of stay, booking method, arrival and departure dates, establishment and room. Do not copy a list found on a blog: start from the model set out in the decree and ask only for what is necessary.
DarID also offers a free individual accommodation form generator in French and Arabic, with no account needed.
Prepare the form before arrival
Decree No. 2-15-865 sets out the model individual accommodation form in its annex. For a host covered by these rules, the simplest approach is to organise collection before arrival rather than rebuild the file at the last minute.
An operating procedure can follow four steps:
1. identify the booking and the guest concerned; 2. ask only for the information needed for the applicable procedure; 3. check for missing fields before arrival; 4. keep the file in the tool or space your organisation has chosen.
This method does not change your obligations. Above all, it reduces re-typing and scattered searches across messaging apps, files and internal notes.
What if several guests share the same property?
Do not automatically infer one person’s information from another’s. The form and the procedure must be handled according to the rules that apply to your establishment and to each person concerned. If you are unsure about the exact scope, check the official text or ask the competent authority before changing your form.
For a team, what matters is making gaps visible: file received, information to check, administrative step to complete. A clear list is more reliable than a WhatsApp conversation that is hard to find.
Tell collection and transmission apart
Preparing the form and transmitting data to the authorities are related but separate topics. The ministry publishes the framework for the individual form and the one for electronic declaration separately.
This distinction avoids a common mistake: thinking that a completed form, on its own, covers every formality that applies to the host.
Personal data: collect what is necessary
A guest’s information is personal data when it identifies them directly or indirectly. The CNDP, Morocco’s data protection authority, highlights in particular the principles of purpose, proportionality, retention period and security.
In practice, avoid adding fields “just in case”. For every item you request, your team should be able to explain why it is needed. Limit access too: someone who does not need the guest file for their work should not have the same access as the person in charge of check-in.
Prepare the arrival without turning hospitality into an inspection
The guest should know what is being asked and why. A clear request before arrival reduces last-minute back-and-forth.
DarID brings together the stay, guest information, uploaded documents and check-in progress in a single flow. Digital check-in prepares the arrival; it does not replace the welcome.
A checklist before your next Airbnb booking
Before arrival, check: your accommodation’s status, the form you use, the mandatory fields in your procedure, the information still missing, who reviews the file and the applicable declaration step.
This checklist looks simple, and that is the point: check-in becomes a series of visible actions instead of improvised collection at the door.
Key takeaways
For a rental booked through Airbnb or another platform, the booking platform does not replace your own obligations as a host. Start from the model in Annex No. 1 of Decree No. 2-15-865, check the rules that apply to your activity and organise the information before arrival.
Frequently asked questions
Does Airbnb fill in the police form for the host?
Do not assume so. A booking platform and the operator’s obligations are two separate matters. Check the procedure that applies to your activity.
Can I ask for a copy of all the guest’s documents?
Data collection must respect, in particular, purpose and proportionality. Do not ask for more information simply because a digital form lets you add fields.
Does DarID replace the official electronic declaration?
No. DarID can help prepare, gather and track check-in information. It does not replace the host’s legal obligations or the official systems where they are required.
