Waiting on ID card

I'm trying to purchase a vehicle, the traffic department needs my residency ID card to do this. I have residency, and an ID sticker on my passport, but my employer has yet to provide me with an actual plastic ID card.

The dealership tells me the traffic dept. won't use the passport. Is there any way I can expedite this process? Can I go somewhere to request a card myself??

Thanks!

I don't think you can expedite either. The process goes as fast as it wants to go.

It's interesting that you got to keep your passport through the process. Mine got surrendered to HR the first day on arrival. I won't get it back until I either get kicked out of Qatar due to no medical clearance (should hear forthwith on that inshallah) or I get my RP. I carry a photocopy of my photo page, my arrival stamp, my permanent visa, and a business card with my HR Immigration rep's contact information. Does all this bother me? Not in the least. *shrug*

I dont think you can expedite this! there's no other alternative.

Specially this is the month of ramadhan immigration will be sleeping and put things on pending... So wait... or survive with rent a car...
