Identification Cards in Qatar and the Data They Hold
Residents are expected to carry identification with them by Qatari
law, and identity is often required for registering for clubs as well
as for bank accounts, schools, nurseries and so on. While theoretically
residents should carry ID cards, in practice other forms of ID such
as driving licences (with photos) and passports are perfectly acceptable.
Normally residents apply for their ID card at the same time as they
apply for their residents permits, and the ID cards run out at the same
time as the Residence Permit.

Information carried
ID cards contain an image of the holder, and ID number, his or her
nationality, the type of visa the holder has, the validity date, date
of birth and the blood type of the holder - handy in accidents. The
holders signature is on the back. The current ID cards are due to be
replaced by more sophisticated cards which will carry biometric data
about the holder.
Children under the age of 18 do not have to carry an ID card.
