FAQ
- What should I do if I lose my passport?

- Is 112 the European emergency number used in Morocco?
- It works on most mobile networks and routes to police, but use 19/15/141 for faster response.
- Are tourist police helpful?
- Yes — the Brigade Touristique speaks English, French and Spanish and is your first stop for theft, scams or harassment complaints.
