Last updated: 2026-10-12

What is the disability card?

The disability card is an official document issued in Morocco by the ministry in charge of persons with disabilities. It certifies the child's disability and opens access to several benefits: medical coverage, transport, adapted schooling and social aids.

Application steps

1. Build the medical file: pediatrician or specialist reports, examination results (MRI, EEG, psychomotor assessment...).
2. Go to the regional hospital: the medical commission assesses the degree of disability.
3. Submit the application to the competent local authority (regional delegation, province or commune depending on the area).
4. Receive the card after administrative validation, usually within a few weeks.

Documents usually required

• Copy of the family record or the child's birth certificate.
• ID photos of the child.
• Detailed medical certificate and/or commission report.
• Proof of residence.

Frequently asked questions

Is the disability card required to get care?

No, basic care remains accessible without it. But it eases access to AMO Tadamon, social allowances, school accommodations and reduced fares — worth requesting as soon as the disability is documented.

How long does the application take?

Usually a few weeks between submitting a complete file and receiving the card. Times vary by region and by how complete the medical file is: the more specialist reports, the faster the review.

Does the card need renewal?

Depending on the case, it may be issued for a limited or permanent duration. If limited, start the renewal 2-3 months before expiry with recent assessments.
