How to Register and Use Metrash2 App in Qatar 2026
The Metrash2 app (now updated to the new Metrash version) is the digital backbone of government services in Qatar. Managed by the Ministry of Interior (MOI), it offers over 450+ services, allowing residents to handle everything from visa renewals to traffic fines without visiting a service center.
In 2026, the app has introduced AI-driven features, biometric login, and an expanded E-Wallet to make life even easier for the community.
