How to check the validity of my Qatar ID online?
The Qatar National Identity Card (QID) is a mandatory ID issued by the Qatari government for citizens, residents, and foreign workers. It confirms identity and residency status, essential for banking, obtaining a driving license, and accessing government services. The card includes the holder’s photo, name, QID number, date of birth, nationality, signature, and sponsor details. These details provide a means to verify a person’s identity and must be presented in various situations.

You can use your passport or QID number to check for the validity of your Qatar ID on the MoI Qatar online portal. The steps are as follows:
- Go to the MoI Qatar ID Check Portal
- Enter your QID number or passport number.
- In case you are checking using your passport number, please choose your nationality from the drop-down menu.
- Input the captcha
- Click the “search” button
If you have typed in the incorrect QID number and did not receive any results, simply press the reset button and try again to check the status of your Qatar ID card.
In both cases, once you’ve entered the correct details and pressed the search button, your Qatar ID card details will appear on the screen. The system will give you your ID Card, passport, and residency expiry dates.
Via Metrash2 app
