Getting a CNSS registration number

Your CNSS registration number is a lifetime personal identifier with Morocco’s national social-security fund. It gates access to every benefit (sickness / maternity daily allowances, family allowances, pension, AMO). Here is who triggers it and how.

Who needs a number

• Private-sector employees — registered automatically on your employer’s first declaration.
• Independent workers (TNS) — traders, artisans, liberal professions, farmers — since the 2021-2022 universalisation reform, you register personally.
• Employers — a separate employer affiliation with its own affiliation number.

Case 1 — You are hired as an employee

The employer is responsible. They must declare you to CNSS by the day you start, through the online DAMANCOM employer portal.

Check a week later:

1. Log in to macnss.ma with your national ID (CIN).
2. Under “Mon immatriculation” — your 9-digit number should appear.
3. If it hasn’t after 15 days, ask your employer to confirm the DAMANCOM filing; chase if needed.

Keep that number — it stays with you across employers.

Case 2 — You are a non-salaried worker (TNS)

Since the social-protection universalisation, TNS register directly.

1. Go to cnss.ma — non-salaried-worker section.
2. Identify your category (liberal profession, trader, artisan, farmer…) — contribution rate and flat basis depend on it.
3. Prepare the file — CIN, proof of activity (business licence, trade register, professional card), bank details.
4. File the request online or at a CNSS office.
5. Pay the contribution on your category’s schedule.

After registration, your number and AMO card are issued; benefits are available after the regulatory waiting period.

Case 3 — You are an employer (new business)

1. Employer affiliation — submit an affiliation file (articles, trade register, tax ID, bank details) at your local CNSS office.
2. Once you have the affiliation number, open a damancom.ma account.
3. Declare each employee on hire; employees without a CNSS number are auto-registered on first declaration.
4. Pay monthly contributions by SEPA direct debit or bank transfer.

Recovering a lost number

• Check an old payslip — the number must appear.
• Log in to macnss.ma with your CIN.
• Visit a CNSS office with your CIN.
