Morocco is located in North Africa. It shares its borders with the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. In the South, it is connected with Western Sahara; in the East, it shares the border with Algeria. This geographical complexity impacts how people communicate, especially how they write the address when sending mail. Moreover, there are different types of addresses and each has its specific address element requirement. If you want to send mail to a client or customer in Morocco, but don’t know the correct format, we have got you covered. We have listed all the types of addresses, along with the format and examples for each.

Recipient Name

Start by writing the name of the recipient in the first line. If you are sending the mail to a business, then write the company’s name in the first line. In the second and third line respectively, write the name of the person and their department. If you want to ensure that the internal mail distribution system sends the mail to the right office and desk, add ATTN. in front of the person’s name.

Building Number, and Street Name

In the second line, add the house/building number and then the street name for the residential and business addresses. Street names in Morocco are written with the street type before the name.  Some of the street types in Morocco are Avenue and Boulevard. In case the recipient uses a PO Box, write the term “PO Box”, and then the box number.

Postal Code, and City

Write the two address elements in the order mentioned above. The postal codes are called “code postals” in Morocco and they are five-digit numbers. Some of the major cities in Morocco are Rabat, Fes, Meknes, Tangier, Agadir, Marrakesh, and Oujda.

Country Name

The name of the country will come in the last line. If you are sending international mail to Morocco, write the country name in capital letters.

Residential Address Format

Write the recipient’s name, building number, street name, or PO box number, postal code, city or town, and country name. Every address component except the building number and the street name will come in separate lines.

Rural Address Format

The streets in the rural areas of Morocco do not have a formal name. In this case, write the name of the village, followed by the nearest larger town. Add the rest of the address elements in the same way as the residential address.

Business Address Format

Start with the name of the company in the first line. Write the person’s name, and their department in the second and third line respectively. Add the rest of the address components in the same place as the residential address.

International Address Format for NGOs and Organizations

Start with the name of the organization in the first line and the specific department in the second line. Add all the other address components, except the recipient’s name, in the same way as the residential address.

PO Box Address Format

In the residential address, instead of the street address, write the term “PO Box” and then the PO box number.

Military Address Format

The military address format of Morocco follows the same format as the residential address except for the first two lines. In the first line, write the rank and full name of the person. In the second line write the military unit number.

Government Office Address Format

In the residential address, write the office and department name on the first line and second line respectively.

Address Format for Courier Services

If you send mail using courier services like DHL or FedEx, write the contact details of the recipient in the last line of the residential address. This will help the courier service provider connect with the recipient to ensure accurate delivery.
