Hi everyone,

I’m trying to renew my Qatar ID and wanted to ask about the best way to go about it. I’ve heard there are some updates to the process recently. Can someone walk me through the steps? Also, how long does it usually take?

I came across the site moi.gov.qatar visa inquiry while searching—can this be used to check the renewal status of a Qatar ID, or is it strictly for visa-related checks? Any tips or personal experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi! To renew your Qatar ID, you should use the MOI Smart Services Portal or the Qatar Mobile App, as the visa inquiry page is only for visa-related checks. You can log in to the portal, navigate to the residence permit renewal section, and submit the required documents like a passport copy, current ID, and employer approval if needed. To learn more here about the submission process and fees, check the MOI portal guidance. Once everything is submitted, you’ll receive a notification when your new ID is ready for pickup or delivery. The process usually takes about 3–7 business days, so make sure your passport is valid and your biometric information is up to date to avoid delays.
