The Qatar Digital ID (QDI) application is now available on Apple Store as part of the first phase of the new service, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has announced.
The app allows the verification of digital identity, provides an easy way to access services on the MoI website and enables the electronic stamping of documents issued by the ministry, according to an MoI post on social media.
The ministry had recently launched the Qatar Digital ID application service on the sidelines of Milipol Qatar 2022. This comes as part of the MoI’s constant efforts to provide the latest and distinguished services to citizens and residents, effectively contribute to the national digital transformation among all ministries and authorities in Qatar, and achieve the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 and the strategic plans of the Ministry of Interior.
The QDI provides the highest degree of trust in obtaining the digital identity of users through a secure and easy-to-use application that contributes to reducing identity theft crimes in cyberspace.
The identity of users is created and linked to a unique electronic signature of individuals, which includes national digital certificates that can be used through the application to approve electronic procedures and transactions to align with the laws and legislation in force in Qatar and protect these transactions from forgery and fraud. It also provides a practical and reliable way to prove the identity of the signer on the transactions in order to avoid cases of denial of the signature and raise the level of trust in electronic transactions both in Qatar and at the global level.
Electronic seals are also introduced, which will enable the MoI in the first stage and then all other ministries and various bodies, to electronically seal certificates and documents issued by them to protect them from tampering and forgery. The application will also provide users with an easy way to access the electronic services website of the Ministry of Interior, as an alternative to using the current method of the card reader for the plastic smart card.
The application contains the digital wallet, which provides storage and access to services for the ID card and electronically signed and sealed transactions for individuals at the Ministry of Interior. The digital wallet includes cards issued by the MoI, including a digital copy of the plastic Qatari ID card, driver's licence and vehicle registration.
