The anthropometric record extract (extrait de la fiche anthropométrique) is issued by Morocco's General Directorate for National Security (DGSN). According to the DGSN, the record lists all of a person's judicial history; the extract is valid for 3 months. Since 9 November 2026, Moroccans living abroad can request it online on the E-Police portal, a service previously reserved for residents of Morocco. The application and payment are done remotely; the document is collected in person at the embassy or consulate chosen when applying.

Timeline
Check which document you are being asked for
The anthropometric record and the criminal record (Bulletin No. 3) are two different documents. The anthropometric record extract is issued by the DGSN on epolice.ma. Bulletin No. 3 is issued by the Ministry of Justice on casierjudiciaire.justice.gov.ma. Some media wrongly call the anthropometric record a "criminal record": ask the organisation requesting the document which of the two it expects.
💡 Tip: If you are being asked for Bulletin No. 3, see our guide "Obtain Your Moroccan Criminal Record (Bulletin B3) from Abroad".
⚠️ Warning: The extract is only valid for 3 months: do not request it too long before you need it.
Get your CNIE and phone ready
The portal fills in the application form with the data from your electronic national identity card (CNIE). To identify yourself online with your CNIE, the DGSN offers the "Mon Identité Numérique" app. According to its official FAQ, you need a smartphone or tablet running Android 7.0 or later, or an iPhone running iOS 13 or later, with an NFC reader (to read the card) and a camera (for facial recognition). You will also need a means of payment for the 30 DH stamp duty.
💡 Tip: Without an NFC phone, the digital identity FAQ says you can create your account and then validate an operation code on the NFC phone of a relative who has the app.
⚠️ Warning: The online service relies on the CNIE. If you do not have one, check with your consulate before you start.
Apply on epolice.ma
On epolice.ma, open the service "L'extrait de la fiche anthropométrique". The official portal describes five steps: (1) online identification; (2) automatic filling of the form with your CNIE data, once you give your consent; (3) choice of the collection point; (4) payment of the stamp duty, online or through a payment service provider; (5) printing of the application receipt.
💡 Tip: Print the receipt and keep it: it is required to collect the extract.
⚠️ Warning: The extract is collected at the place chosen when applying: pick an embassy or consulate you can actually get to.
Track your application
On the epolice.ma home page, click "Suivi des demandes" (application tracking). Enter the application number or your CNIE number, plus your date of birth, then click "Rechercher" (search). The page shows the status of your application and whether the extract has arrived at the chosen post.
⚠️ Warning: No processing time has been published for applications made from abroad.
Collect the extract at the consulate or embassy
According to the official consular portal (consulat.ma), you must present the application receipt and your CNIE. The extract is handed only to the holder, to their legal representative (father, mother or legal guardian), or to a person holding a legalised power of attorney and an identity document. For a minor or a person under guardianship who holds a CNIE, it may be handed to the father, mother or legal guardian on presentation of their identity document.
💡 Tip: Lost receipt: you need a legalised declaration of loss from the consular service or the local authorities.
⚠️ Warning: Consular fees may apply: their amount is not published online, so check with the chosen post.
In depth
Until 9 November 2026, online applications on the DGSN's E-Police portal were reserved for people living in Morocco. According to the DGSN's 2025 report as covered by the press (Le360, Barlamane), 1,575,431 anthropometric records were issued in 2025, of which 34,014 were requested online. Since 9 November 2026, the portal's official FAQ states that the service is open "to every Moroccan citizen living in Morocco or abroad". According to the Moroccan press (Le360, Al3omk, Barlamane, 9 November 2026), some embassies and consulates are connected to the DGSN system that handles applications from abroad; the others are informed of the arrival of the records by an official DGSN email. The 30 DH stamp duty is set by article 252-II-H of Morocco's General Tax Code. Depending on how the document will be used abroad, the receiving organisation may require legalisation or an apostille: check with them.
❌ Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Confusing the anthropometric record extract (DGSN) with Bulletin No. 3 of the criminal record (Ministry of Justice)
- ✕Requesting the extract too early: it is only valid for 3 months
- ✕Choosing a collection point you cannot get to: the extract is collected in person at the place chosen when applying
- ✕Losing the receipt: it is required at collection, otherwise you need a legalised declaration of loss
- ✕Using unofficial websites: applications are made on epolice.ma, the DGSN portal
