Failure to register vehicle within deadline may lead to deletion from Traffic registry

The failure to register the vehicle within the deadline may lead to its deletion from the records of the General Directorate of Traffic, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has warned.

During an interview with Qatar TV, Lieutenant-Colonel Hamad Ali al-Muhannadi, head of the Registration Section at the Licensing Affairs Department at the General Directorate of Traffic, said that there are no exceptions in this regard.

“Failure to follow the rules will result in the enforcement of the law. The law applies to all vehicles,” he said, adding that innovations have made the procedures easy and the technical inspection takes 10-15 minutes.

“Renewing insurance can be done online and renewal of the vehicle can be easily done through Metrash,” Lt-Col al-Muhannadi said, noting that the violations can be checked and cleared through Metrash or the MoI website.

As part of efforts to regulate vehicle status and ensure compliance with traffic laws and regulations, the General Directorate of Traffic has urged the vehicle owners with expired registrations that have exceeded the legal period stipulated in Article (11) of Traffic Law No. (19) of 2007.

The announcement was made on July 27. This is to rectify their vehicle status within a period not exceeding 30 days from the date of the announcement in order to avoid the approved legal procedures.
