Frequently Asked Questions About MOI Qatar ID Status

It's recommended to check your MOI Qatar ID status monthly, especially if your QID or visa is approaching expiry. Check more frequently (weekly) if you're in the process of renewing your documents or if your employer is processing visa changes. Regular checks help you catch any issues early.

If your MOI Qatar ID status shows as expired, contact your sponsor (employer or family member) immediately to initiate the renewal process.

Yes, you can check anyone's MOI Qatar ID status if you have their QID number, as the information is publicly accessible through the MOI Portal. However, ensure you have permission to access this information for legitimate purposes such as employment verification or family sponsorship matters.

Your Qatar ID card (QID) expiry date and your visa (residency permit) expiry date are usually the same, but they are technically different documents. The QID is the physical card, while the visa is the legal permission to reside in Qatar. Both must be valid - if your visa expires, your QID becomes invalid even if the card hasn't expired. Always check both dates in your MOI Qatar ID status.

To renew your Qatar ID, your sponsor must initiate the process 2-3 months before expiry. The renewal can be done through: (1) Metrash2 mobile app, (2) MOI typing centers, or (3) Hukoomi portal. Required documents include a valid passport, medical certificate, fingerprints (if required), and payment of renewal fees. The process typically takes 7-14 days once all documents are submitted.
