What your pet needs to cross into Morocco.
Do these in order. Miss one and your pet can be held at the border.
- Before you go
Microchip (ISO 11784/11785)
Have a vet implant an ISO microchip and record the number on every document.
- On or after the microchip
Rabies vaccination
Vaccinate against rabies with an inactivated vaccine after the microchip is in place.
- At least 21 days after the rabies shot
Wait 21 days after rabies vaccination
Entry is only allowed once at least 21 days have passed since the rabies vaccination.
- At least 30 days after the rabies shot
Rabies antibody titer test (FAVN/RFFIT)
A vet draws blood at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination; the lab result must be >= 0.5 IU/ml.
- On or after the health certificate
Government endorsement of the certificate
Have the health certificate endorsed/stamped by the government veterinary authority of the country you leave from.
- Still valid the day you arrive
Rabies vaccine still valid on arrival
Your pet's rabies vaccine must still be valid on the day you cross. Check the 'valid until' date on the vaccination record and book a booster before it runs out.

Official health certificate
Get the destination's health certificate signed by an official (government-authorised) vet; it is valid for 7 days.
