ICE — Identifiant Commun de l’Entreprise
L’identifiant unique à 15 chiffres, obligatoire sur chaque facture
Market position
The ICE uniquely identifies a Moroccan company and its establishments across all administrations, and has been mandatory since January 2016 on all official documents — invoices, devis, tax declarations and accounting records.
Morocco-specific note
15 digits (9 entity + 4 establishment + 2 control key), attributed by OMPIC for new companies or the DGI for individuals — and it will sit on every e-invoice, so any invoicing tool you choose must carry and validate it.
Pros
- + Single cross-administration ID
- + Mandatory on invoices (central to the e-invoicing regime)
- + Simplifies inter-agency procedures
- + Free to obtain
Cons
- − Must appear on all commercial/fiscal documents — omission = a non-compliant invoice
- − Obtained through different bodies by legal form
- − Don’t confuse it with the IF (tax ID) or RC number
- − Errors propagate across agencies
Typical Morocco pricing
Free / administrative.
Why this matters for Morocco trades
The DGI runs tax (20% TVA, IS, IR via the SIMPL portal) and the phased 2026 e-invoicing clearance mandate — large enterprises / B2B first, exact start pending the implementing decree; the Ministère de l’Équipement’s Qualification & Classification certificate is required to bid public construction tenders; mandatory construction insurance (Tous Risques Chantier + responsabilité civile décennale) under Loi 59-13 requires a prior contrôle technique and is broker-placed; and employers must register with the CNSS (declarations via Damancom) and carry the ICE on every invoice.
Moroccan construction & trades software selection is shaped by the incoming DGI facturation électronique mandate (a clearance model under Article 145-IX of the CGI, rolling out in 2026 to large firms first — the exact start date pending the implementing decree), mandatory construction insurance under Loi 59-13 (Tous Risques Chantier + responsabilité civile décennale, in force since end-2024), multi-rate TVA (20% standard), CNSS social security, the Ministry of Equipment’s Qualification & Classification system gating public BTP tenders, and a construction pipeline lifted by World Cup 2030 and Al Haouz earthquake reconstruction. B2B runs predominantly in French.
