The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) continues to improve access to government services by delivering an expanding range of legal and real estate transactions through a nationwide network of external service centres.
The initiative aims to bring services closer to citizens, residents and businesses, reducing travel time and enhancing the customer experience by integrating government services into commercial and community locations.
The network now comprises 10 external service centres located in shopping malls and government service complexes, allowing visitors to complete a wide range of transactions without visiting the ministry’s headquarters.
To provide greater flexibility, all centres operate during morning hours, with four also offering evening services to better accommodate working professionals and the public.
The ministry has also deployed a mobile service office at Qatar Mall and Katara during evening hours, extending services to high-footfall locations and making them more accessible to clients who are unable to visit government offices during regular working hours.
The external centres primarily handle real estate registration and notarisation services.
Selected centres also process transactions on behalf of other government entities, including services for banks, companies and vehicle-related documentation.
In addition, two dedicated offices specialise in transactions involving non-Qatari ownership and usufruct of real estate, supporting Qatar’s regulated property investment framework.
Recent official data highlights the scale of the legal and real estate ecosystem supported by the ministry.
Qatar currently has 703 registered real estate brokers, 424 registered experts and 306 licenced practising lawyers.
The ministry’s digital transformation complements its physical service network by providing a broad range of online services, including notarisation, property registration, legal information and application tracking.
These digital services reduce the need for in-person visits, while external service centres continue to handle transactions requiring physical verification or document authentication.
The MoJ also publishes open data on completed real estate registration and documentation transactions to enhance transparency and monitor service performance.
The broader government service network continues to record strong demand.
Official figures show that Government Service Centres delivered more than 146,000 services during the third quarter of 2025, with the Ministry of Justice ranking among the busiest entities after completing more than 11,000 transactions in September 2025 alone.
The figures underscore the growing reliance on decentralised service delivery and the effectiveness of integrated government service centres in improving accessibility, convenience and operational efficiency.
By combining strategically located external service centres, extended operating hours, mobile service offices and expanding digital platforms, the ministry continues to make its services more accessible while maintaining efficiency, accuracy and high standards in transaction processing.
