Introduced by decree 2-02-350 of 17 July 2002, the single form remains the administrative keystone of company creation in Morocco. One declaration, filed at the one-stop shop or through the OMPIC electronic platform, simultaneously constitutes:
- the business tax registration request;
- the trade register filing;
- the tax identity declaration (corporate or income tax, VAT);
- the CNSS affiliation request.
The one-stop-shop staff complete the circuit with each administration and hand back the corresponding certificates; the electronic channel issues the enterprise identifier (ICE) upon registration.
Documents to attach
| Legal entities (SARL, SA, SAS…) | Individuals |
|---|---|
| Negative certificate; registered bylaws; capital-blocking certificate where required; appointment minutes; lease or title deed for the registered office; managers’ IDs; signed single form | ID; negative certificate if trading under a name; premises proof (lease, domiciliation); diploma or licence for regulated activities; signed single form |
Where to file
- Online — OMPIC electronic platform (mandatory for commercial companies since 2023);
- CRI one-stop shop in Tangier and its provincial branches;
- Regulated activities (tourism, transport, health…) follow their sector permits in parallel — the CRI routes the file.
Background. A pioneering measure in 2002, the single form made Morocco one of the first MENA countries to unify creation formalities — now extended by a fully digital pipeline. See Morocco’s regional investment centres for the institutional story.
