Moroccan Consulates Allow Mothers to Apply for Passports for Their Children
Alalam24, In a remarkable decision that has been widely welcomed and praised, the consulates of the Kingdom of Morocco in New York and Madrid have announced changes to the administrative regularization procedures for passport applications for minor children.
Under these changes, single mothers can now apply for a passport for their minor children without the need for the father’s consent or presence. This decision has received broad support from the Moroccan feminist movement and society in general.
Sources within the consulates have stated that these changes aim to facilitate and simplify procedures for mothers and avoid the difficulties that minor children previously faced in regularizing their administrative situation, especially when it was difficult to obtain the father’s consent or his presence for various reasons.
This initiative is part of the effort to improve consular services offered to Moroccans abroad, strengthen the role of consulates in facilitating communication between citizens and Moroccan authorities, and achieve maximum satisfaction and facilities for Moroccans residing abroad.
These changes have been met with great satisfaction by the public, with many Moroccans expressing their joy and appreciation for this initiative, which strengthens women’s rights and contributes to simplifying administrative procedures concerning their children.
