Rabat – Morocco’s Consulate General in Miami organized a mobile consulate in Dallas to serve Moroccan nationals residing in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and other surrounding states.
The consulate, under the leadership of Consul General Chafika El Habti and in coordination with the Moroccan embassy in the US, hosted the mobile consulate on February 7–8.
The consulate said this is the first time the Miami consulate has led a mission of “this scale” in Texas, noting that a total of 22 consular agents were deployed.
It added that this is the largest team ever assembled for a Moroccan mobile consulate, stressing Morocco’s strong commitment to serving its diaspora.
The services available at the mobile consulate include issuance and renewal of Morocco’s ID, passport applications and renewals, notarial services, affidavits and certifications, as well as other essential consular procedures.
“This event represents a historic milestone and reflects Morocco’s ongoing efforts to bring public services closer to its citizens, strengthen ties with the diaspora, and ensure accessible, efficient, and high-quality consular support,” the consulate said in a statement.
It emphasized Dallas as being home to the “most dynamic Moroccan communities” in the US, enabling generations to “thrive while proudly preserving their cultural heritage and embracing the opportunities of American society.”
The consulate also renewed Morocco’s commitment to boosting relations with its diaspora, bringing essential government services directly to its citizens “wherever they live.”
Moroccans living abroad number over five million, with King Mohammed VI frequently urging the government to implement adequate reforms to serve the diaspora, recognizing them as a major contributor to Morocco’s economy.
Remittances from Moroccans abroad reached over $13.377 billion by the end of 2025. This represents an increase of 2.6% from the previous year, which recorded $13 billion. The figures reinforce Morocco’s position as one of the top recipients of diaspora remittances in Africa.
