 * In 1912, stamps showing the Aissaouas Mosque tower were released, inscribed in arabic. These have narrow margins. In 1913, the designs were released with larger margins.
 * In 1913, "05" (handstamped) and "0.10" (manuscript) surcharges on 50c stamps were issued. These have been forged.



In 1912, most of Morocco became a French protectorate (French Morocco) with Spain controlling the northern (Spanish Morocco) and southern (Cape Juby) regions. Tangier became an international city. All were reunited into a kingdom in 1956.
 * In 1956-56, a series with engraved portraits of Mohammed V were issued, inscribed MAROC. This were used in the former French zone; Northern Zone stamps were used in the former Spanish Morocco area due to currency differences.
 * In November 1958, inscriptions were changed to ROYAUME DU MAROC.
 * In 1962, denominations were changed to centimes and dirhams, and were changed to the style (for example) "O.20" or "1.00" dirhams.
 * In Spring of 1970, a comma instead of a stop/period was used for denominations.
 * By late 1984, year dates appeared in the bottom margins of most but not all stamps.
