Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Romania to Morocco: official requirements
Possible. With nothing done yet, start at least 4 weeks ahead for a dog. The main steps: microchip or tattoo before the rabies vaccination, rabies vaccination (inactivated vaccine), rabies blood test, if your pet stays less than 12 months and health certificate for Morocco, signed after a vet check within 24 hours of departure.
Rules checked up to 13 October 2026From 14 official pages
In short
- Dogs and cats differ on this route: choose Dog or Cat to see just yours.
- Morocco puts Romania in the group “EU country”, which decides part of the rules.
- On this route: rabies blood test needed.
- No import permit or quarantine on this route for a pet that meets the rules.
- Coming back to Romania? 2 steps have to happen before your pet leaves.
Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Romania publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. ANSVSA's page lists a few certificate models and links to destination authorities under 'movement of pets from Romania to third countries'. It does not describe the general procedure, a deadline or a fee: ask your county sanitary veterinary directorate (DSVSA) which certificate and endorsement your destination needs.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Morocco publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Morocco's food safety office (ONSSA) publishes no guide for pet owners, only the model health certificates your country's vet must sign (as scanned documents) and its fee list. The models set no minimum age. Every model also has the vet certify that your pet has lived in a country or area free of rabies for the last 6 months (the US model says premises); only the UK explains how its vets read this, so if your pet comes from a country where rabies is present, ask ONSSA or the official vet service in your country before you travel.

What your pet needs
In the order you do them. Each step says whether Romania (leaving) or Morocco (entering) asks for it.
Dogs
Get ready
Residence ruleEntering Morocco
6 months in a rabies-free country or area (ask ONSSA)
The official vet certifies that your pet has lived in a country or area free of rabies since birth or for at least the 6 months before it leaves. ONSSA doesn't say how this applies to a pet from a country where rabies is present: ask your official vet service or ONSSA before you plan the trip.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
Every ONSSA model has this statement. The certificates don't define a rabies-free country or area, and ONSSA publishes no list. Neither ONSSA nor USDA APHIS's page for Morocco (November 2025) explains what US vets check for premises free of rabies.
“Ont été entretenus dans un pays ou dans une zone indemne de rage depuis leur naissance ou depuis au moins les 6 mois ayant précédé leur chargement”
“Ont été entretenus dans un pays ou dans une zone indemne de rage depuis leur naissance ou depuis au moins les 6 mois ayant précédé leur chargement.”
“Ont été entretenus dans un lieu indemne de rage depuis leur naissance ou depuis au moins les 6 mois ayant précédé leur chargement.”
“Have been maintained in rabies free premises since their birth or at least during the last six months prior to their loading.”
IdentificationEntering Morocco
Microchip or tattoo before the rabies vaccination
Your pet must carry a permanent identification (a microchip or a tattoo) put in before its rabies vaccination.
Details and the official words
“Marque d’identification (tatouage ou puce)”
“Ont été identifiés à l’aide d’une marque permanente, préalablement à leur vaccination contre la rage”
“Ont été identifiés à l’aide d’une marque permanente, préalablement à leur vaccination contre la rage.”
“Ont été identifiés à l’aide d’une marque permanente, préalablement à leur vaccination contre la rage.”
“Have been identified with permanent mark, prior to their vaccination against rabies”
“Pets must be identified by a permanent means (i.e., microchip or tattoo) prior to rabies vaccination (dogs and cats).”
VaccinationEntering Morocco
Rabies vaccination (inactivated vaccine)
Your pet must be correctly vaccinated against rabies with an inactivated vaccine, after the microchip. The certificate lists the vaccine, its maker, the batch and the dates of the first vaccination and the last booster. Your model gives no waiting time after the vaccination (Spain's gives 21 days).
Details and the official words
No minimum age for the vaccination is given.
“Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé, et que 21 jours au moins se sont écoulés après la primovaccination antirabique”
“Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé”
“Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé”
“Have been correctly vaccinated against rabies with inactivated vaccine”
“Have been correctly vaccinated against rabies with inactivated vaccine, and at least 21 days have elapsed after the primary rabies vaccination”
“Rabies vaccination is mandatory. Only licensed products are allowed. The vaccination must be given in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Any booster vaccinations must be given within the year.”
“Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé, et que 21 jours au moins se sont écoulés après la vaccination antirabique”
Blood testEntering Morocco
Rabies blood test, if your pet stays less than 12 months
Unless your pet is moving to Morocco for good, a vet authorised by your country's authority takes a blood sample at least 30 days after the last rabies vaccination, and the result must be at least 0.5 IU/ml. The lab report, stamped by your country's veterinary authority, is attached to the certificate. A pet moving to Morocco permanently doesn't need it: its certificate says so instead.
Details and the official words
From the UK and the countries on ONSSA's general model, we leave the test out when your trip back starts at least 13 calendar months after arrival. A stay of exactly 12 months isn't covered by either line of the certificate, so we keep the test for it.
If you haven't entered a trip back, we keep the test: skip it if your pet is moving to Morocco for more than 12 months (from the EU: for good).
The EU model offers only two choices: exported for good, or temporarily with the blood test. From the EU, any trip back keeps the test, however long the stay.
The US model has no blood test.
“Seront exportés pour une période supérieure à 12 mois”
“Seront exportés temporairement au Maroc pour une période inférieure à 12 mois, et ont été soumis à un prélèvement de sang, effectué par un vétérinaire habilité par l'autorité compétente, pour la recherche des anticorps sériques neutralisant le virus rabique, au moins 30 jours après la vaccination précédente contre la rage avec un titre supérieur ou égal à 0,5 UI/ml”
“Les bulletins d'analyses de laboratoire du test ci-dessus mentionné, visés par l'autorité vétérinaire du pays d'origine sont joints au présent certificat sanitaire vétérinaire”
“Seront exportés définitivement au Maroc”
“Seront exportés temporairement au Maroc et ont été soumis à un prélèvement de sang, effectué par un vétérinaire habilité par l'autorité compétente, pour la recherche des anticorps sériques neutralisant le virus rabique, au moins 30 jours après la vaccination précédente contre la rage avec un titre supérieur ou égal à 0,5 UI/ml.”
“Will be exported temporarily for a period less than 12 months, and have been submitted to a blood sample, taken by the competent authority, for an antibody titration test at least 30 days after the previous rabies vaccination, with a positive result, of at least 0.5 IU/ml”

PaperworkEntering Morocco
Health certificate for Morocco, signed after a vet check within 24 hours of departure
An official vet in your country examines your pet within the 24 hours before it leaves and signs ONSSA's model health certificate for your country: your pet is healthy, with no signs of contagious disease on the day it is loaded.
Details and the official words
“Je soussigné, vétérinaire officiel, certifie que les animaux désignés ci-dessus et examinés ce jour”
“Ont été examinés au cours des 24 dernières heures, ont été trouvés en bon état de santé et n’ont présenté aucun signe clinique de maladies contagieuses propres à l’espèce, le jour de leur chargement”
“Ont été examinés au cours des 24 dernières heures, ont été trouvés en bon état de santé et n’ont présenté aucun signe clinique de maladies contagieuses propres à l’espèce, le jour de leur chargement.”
“Je soussigné, vétérinaire agréé par l’USDA certifie que les animaux désignés ci-dessus et examinés ce jour”
“ce certificat a une durée de validité de 3 jours avant le départ des animaux vers le Maroc”
“this certificate is valid for 3 days prior to the departure of the animals to Morocco.”
“The health certificate must be issued by a USDA accredited veterinarian within five (5) business days of export.”
“The health certificate must be endorsed by APHIS within three (3) calendar days of export.”
“Were examined in the last 24 hours and found to be in good health and show no clinical signs of contagious diseases specific to the species, the day of their loading”
“This certificate is valid for 7 days”
Travel day and arrival
On arrivalEntering Morocco
ONSSA check at the border inspection post
On arrival, ONSSA's vets at the border inspection post (Morocco has 16) check the certificate, your pet's identity and its health. Only pets that meet the requirements are let in. ONSSA's fee list sets 300 dirhams per animal for its health certificate for importing dogs and cats.
Details and the official words
The fee list (decision of 7 April 2025, code IM-SA-1) gives the price per head, tax included. It doesn't say where or when it is paid: ask at the border post.
“Au Maroc 16 PIF sont ouverts par voie réglementaire à l’import/export des animaux et le contrôle sanitaire est effectué par des vétérinaires de l’Office National de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits Alimentaires (ONSSA).”
“Après un contrôle documentaire, d’identité et physique, seuls les animaux qui sont conformes sur le plan sanitaire sont autorisés à être admis sur le territoire national.”
“Certificat sanitaire à l'importation de chiens et de chats”
Good to know
- Morocco bans importing dogs classed as dangerous: pit bull types (Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Bull Terrier), boerboel types (Mastiff) and Tosa.
- At the border inspection post, ONSSA's vets check the documents, your pet's identity and its health. A pet that doesn't meet the requirements is sent back or destroyed.
- Under 'movement of pets from Romania to third countries', ANSVSA publishes veterinary health certificate models for exporting pet dogs and pet cats from Romania to the United States, and an international veterinary certificate model for dogs and cats entering Brazil with more details. It also links to the Canadian, Australian and Japanese authorities' pages on bringing pets in. For any other destination, ask the destination and your county DSVSA.
- Planning to bring your pet back to the EU? After a short stay in a non-EU country you can skip the 3-month wait after the rabies blood test, but only if, before you leave the EU, your pet was vaccinated against rabies, passed a successful titer test, and your vet recorded both in its EU pet passport. So do the blood test before you go.

Questions owners ask
Does my dog or cat need a rabies blood test to go from Romania to Morocco?
Yes: Unless your pet is moving to Morocco for good, a vet authorised by your country's authority takes a blood sample at least 30 days after the last rabies vaccination, and the result must be at least 0.5 IU/ml.
Do I need an import permit to bring my dog or cat into Morocco?
No. The official rules we have verified for this route don't ask for an import permit.
Will my dog or cat be quarantined in Morocco?
