Worried about the state of your driving licence in Qatar and need to check it urgently? You’re not alone as an expat. The majority of the drivers are in a hurry to find the answer to their query, whether their licence is still valid, whether it is up-to-date, and whether they need a renewal, but end up searching and reading archaic or illogical manuals.

Method 3: Using the Metrash App
Still have the old Metrash2 on your phone? The Ministry of Interior replaced it with a new app simply called Metrash in December 2024, and Metrash2 stopped working on 1 March 2025. Download the new version from the App Store or Google Play – it covers the same traffic services and adds payment options like Apple Pay.
For most residents, the Metrash app (the replacement for the old Metrash2) is the quickest way to check licence details.
Step-by-Step Guide to Check via Metrash2
- Install the Metrash2 software in the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
- Sign in to Metrash with your Qatar ID details
- Go to Traffic Services.

- The data regarding your licence will be shown instantly.
Benefits of Using the Metrash App
- The mobile access anywhere at any time.
- Shows real-time updates on validity
- You can also check fines and violations.

- You can pay fines in the app, too.
As somebody who values convenience, the Metrash app is probably the handiest option.
