Many Moroccan citizens wishing to obtain Spanish citizenship face questions about the possibility of maintaining their original nationality and using documents from the two countries. Legally, Spain does not recognize double citizenship with Morocco, and there is no bilateral agreement between the two countries. When the Moroccan citizen obtains Spanish citizenship, he is legally required to abandon his native nationality.
According to Spanish law, the continuous use of Moroccan documents after obtaining Spanish citizenship is a legal violation, which can lead to sanctions. On the other hand, Moroccan legislation allows its citizens to have multiple nationalities, which means that Morocco does not drop the citizenship of its citizens who obtain the nationality of another country.
It should be noted that Spain has sexual duplication agreements with certain countries, in particular Latin American countries and the countries with which they have special historical relations. The citizens of these countries are relieved to abandon their initial nationality when they obtain Spanish citizenship, on the basis of article 11.3 of the Spanish Constitution and article 24.2 of the Civil Code.
For Moroccan citizens, during the realization of the Spanish citizenship section, they are officially required to abandon their Moroccan nationality. However, some continue to use the documents of the two countries, which constitutes a violation of Spanish laws. To avoid this violation, the future of Moroccan documents may be necessary during the execution of the Spanish nationality department.
In conclusion, Moroccan citizens who seek to obtain Spanish citizenship are invited to respect the laws in force in the two countries and to consult legal experts to fully understand their obligations and rights.
