A Qatar ID is one of the most important documents for anyone living in Qatar. Qatar ID holders must be aware of their QID expiration and renewal dates. If your QID is nearing its expiration date, you should renew it as soon as possible to avoid penalties and fines. QID renewal is simple and can be done on your smartphone from the comfort of your home.
Metrash2 is an app that lets you renew your Qatar ID online, and it is the easiest way to do so. The Ministry of Interior of Qatar has developed Metrash 2.
