Alright, so the other day, I decided it was time to get my Qatar ID card sorted out. I’d heard you could do it all online, so I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” First things first, I grabbed my laptop and fired up the browser. I wasn’t sure where to start, so I just typed “Qatar ID card online application” into the search bar.
A bunch of results popped up, and I clicked on the one that looked most official. It seemed like the right place, had some information about the Hayya Portal and pre-register stuff, seemed like this was what I needed. I had to create an account, which was pretty standard – you know, username, password, email, the usual stuff.
Once I was in, I started filling out the application form. It asked for all the basic info like my name, passport number, visa details, and address in Qatar. It was all pretty straightforward, nothing too complicated. I did have to scan and upload a few documents, like my passport photo page and my visa. Good thing I had those handy. I just used my phone to scan them and then dragged and dropped them into the right place on the website. Easy peasy.

After I filled everything out, I double-checked all the information to make sure I hadn’t made any typos. You know how it is, one wrong number and the whole thing could be messed up. Once I was sure everything was correct, I hit the “Submit” button. Then came the payment. I just pulled out my credit card, entered the details, and clicked “Pay”. A little loading screen popped up, and then bam, payment confirmed.
I got an email a few minutes later saying my application was received and being processed. It said it could take a few weeks, which was fine. So, now it’s just a waiting game. They said they’d email me again when my ID card is ready to be collected. Honestly, the whole process was way easier than I expected.
