Since 1891, the Frenchpost offices in Morocco emptied the folds which were entrusted to them with French stamps by over-charging them of their value in [[Spanish currency]). Then, with the first years of French protectorate, as for the other french colonies, stamps bearing the name "MOROCCO" were emitted in Arabic.

From 1917, Morocco could have stamps labbeled "MOROCCO" in Latin alphabets and Arabic, without any mention of France.

Tangier, as an international zone had a French office which used the stamps of French Morocco labelled with the name of the city.

After the independence in 1956, the kingdom of Morocco got back its postal autonomy again. Series of everyday usage were printed with the effigy of the sovereign king of Morocco.
