The General Traffic Department has confirmed that there will be no change to the deadline for renewing vehicle registrations. Authorities have warned that failure to comply will result in vehicles being removed from the registry.

Speaking on Qatar TV’s Hayatna program, Lt. Col. Hamad Ali Al-Muhannadi, head of the registration section at the Licensing Affairs Department, said legal action will be taken against vehicle owners who do not comply with the law. “The decision applies to all vehicles,” he said.

Al-Muhannadi highlighted that the renewal process is very easy, with technical inspections taking only 10–15 minutes, insurance being processed online, and renewals being easily completed via the Metrash app. The app also allows users to view traffic violations.

In accordance with Article (11) of Traffic Law No. 19 of 2007, the General Directorate of Traffic requested all vehicle owners with expired registrations to renew them within 30 days from July 27, 2025.
