Morocco is set to overhaul its vehicle registration system, with new license plates for cars and motorcycles to be introduced starting January 2027. The change follows a ministerial decree issued by the Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, published in the Official Bulletin No. 7531 on August 3, 2026.
The new plates will feature a modernized design, including enhanced security features and a new alphanumeric format. The exact specifications and the transition process for existing vehicles are detailed in the decree, which aims to streamline registration and improve road safety.
Vehicle owners will be given a period to comply with the new regulations, though the decree outlines specific timelines and procedures for replacement. The government has stated that the update is part of broader efforts to modernize the country's transport infrastructure.
Authorities have not yet announced the full cost implications for vehicle owners, but they have assured that the process will be communicated clearly to the public in the coming months.
