How to read a normal Moroccan plate
Decision 640.26 organizes the normal series into four parts: MA, an order number from 1 to 99,999, the Arabic series letter with its official Latin equivalent, and the prefecture or province code.
- MA
- Order number: 1 to 99,999
- Arabic series letter and official Latin equivalent
- Prefecture or province code
Official dimensions
The one-line plate is 520 × 110 mm. The two-line rear plate is 300 × 210 mm. The correct layout depends on the vehicle and its approved mounting position; characters should not be stretched to fit an improvised size.
Why visual compliance matters
Legibility, spacing and element order allow the vehicle to be identified correctly. Any commercial preview remains subordinate to the applicable regulatory text and the vehicle registration certificate.
