Do you know Something about your Qatar ID?
Even it is a strange topic and will sound funny to most of you but someone might explain it in a good way.
Each Qatari ID Number contains information about Your Date of Birth and Country etc. I exactly don't know the sequence, but if someone have good knowledge, please share it here. Which numbers stands for what? I am sure there are only 4 figures of serial number, others are personal information about the holder.
nice info
That´s not correct. I have been in Doha working for different companies, and i always got the same ID number, with the last digits showing the total of people in Doha wth the same age, first time I came. I´m sure now there are more people in Doha from my nationality and with same age, but that will not reflect in my ID, since you always have the same ID.
great information
Great! Good info!!!!
Thanks for Sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent information.
COOL!!!
now that's really informative...(uhh where's the like button? :D)
i knew that the 2nd and 3rd is the birthyear. and i thought that the rest of the number where just rndomly selected.
so i am the 2567th person in qatar that obtain the RP . ;) cool.
Only now on my more than 7 years in Qatar have i learned that there is something behind those numbers in my QID... Many times i was required to write my ID but have never memorized it... Now i can recite it by heart ;)
good one!
Thanks to all of you for useful views, specially to "nisoca" who provided the list of country codes. In fact I was looking for it. Now we can finally explain our ID numbers like this:-
1. First one digit which is in most cases #2 (For the people born from 1900 to 1999)
2. The number 2nd+3rd digit is your year of birth.
3. 4th+5th+6th digit is your country code
4. The rest 5 figures are the serial number of your ID
pretty cool! another learning for keeps!!
wow great info! made me grab my ID and study it for the first time haha. i am new in doha and it always amaze me whenever i ask my colleagues about their Qatar ID no. and they would recite it without blinking ..simply amazing!(loooooool)
Very useful information
Qatarsun said: "Last digits represent number of people of your age and nationality in Qatar at the moment of obtaing the RP"
That is not accurate, rather "Last digits represent number of people of your age and nationality who got Qatari RP so far at the moment of obtaing the RP.
The ID of a person who leaves Qatar would not be used again.
very well-explained..
I was aware of the year of birth, country code but was not sure about the last digits..
nice info.. shokran, arigatu desaimasu!
I learned something new from QL. I can see a definite change in the quality of topics coming up here. There're new stories on the front page and there are more worthwhile topics coming up. I don't see people spewing too much venom and the threads themselves are making some sort of sense...
I had stopped coming to QL because I was sick and tired of the shallowness that had invaded this site. It was all the more distressing because I knew what this site could do. And now I must say that slowly, things are looking like it once used to be...
Thank you mods and users, for making this site realise its true potential...
P.S: The sudden rush of optimism was because I learned something new today. I had no idea about the things that went into my ID card Thanks QL users for enlightening me. Deeply appreciated...

Leavin de numb 2 de next numb is de year o birth den ur nationality code den de Id serial no.
De code fr India is 356 dunno abt de rest :)
correct, SD, and #3 is reserved for those who born in 2000 and up
The first digit #2 means, you were born in a year from 1900 to 1999.
Second and third digits represent a year you were born. Next three digits are your country code. Last digits represent number of people of your age and nationality in Qatar at the moment of obtaing the RP. For example, 28312400295 means your were born in 1983, your nationality is Canadian, and you are 295-th person in Qatar who is Canadian and born in 1983.
the first five number are nationality code ,follow by the year you were born then the four last digit
yes... digit 2 and 3 are your year of birth, digits 4,5,6 represent your nationality... i dont know the rest..
and the profession of the holder!
