Does Morocco's CIN have a check digit?

No. Morocco publishes no public check-digit algorithm for the CIN, so this tool can only verify the format (1-2 letters plus digits) and map the prefix to an issuing region — it cannot mathematically prove a number is genuine.

How accurate is the region lookup?

The prefix-to-region mapping is indicative and based on historical bureau letters; newer two-letter series are reported by the first letter's region, so treat the region as a hint rather than a guarantee.

What format does a Moroccan CIN take?

One or two letters followed by one to six digits, for example "A12345" or "BE123456". The letter prefix identifies the issuing bureau; the digits are the serial within that bureau's series.

What does the letter prefix mean?

It marks the regional bureau where the card was first issued — for example A or B for Rabat, V, W or X for Casablanca, and N for Fès. As series fill up, two-letter prefixes appear for the same region.

Does the CIN contain my date of birth?

No. Unlike some national IDs, the Moroccan CIN encodes no date of birth or gender — only the issuing bureau (letters) and a serial number (digits).

Morocco CIN / CNI Validator

Q: Is my CIN sent anywhere?

No. The validator is privacy-first — all processing happens locally in your browser and the number never leaves your device.

This tool checks a Moroccan CIN / CNI (Carte Nationale d’Identité, البطاقة الوطنية) number. It verifies the format and maps the letter prefix to the issuing bureau or region. It is for quick format checks, not proof of authenticity.

How it works

A CIN is 1-2 letters followed by 1-6 digits. The validator confirms the input matches that pattern, then splits it into a letter prefix and a digit serial. The prefix is looked up in a table of regional bureau codes — for example A/B map to Rabat, V/W/X to Casablanca, N to Fès, and J to Agadir / Souss-Massa. Two-letter prefixes are reported by the first letter’s region, with the second letter indicating a series rollover.

Morocco publishes no check-digit algorithm, so the tool cannot mathematically prove a number is genuine — it confirms the format and suggests a likely region.

Example

The number BE123456 parses as prefix BE (Casablanca, série B) and serial 123456, with a valid format.

Prefix	Region
A, B	Rabat
V, W, X	Casablanca
N	Fès
J	Agadir / Souss-Massa
K	Tanger
