Doha: With over 220 active e-services offered by the Ministry of Interior (MoI) through Metrash2 app and its online platform, an overwhelming majority of people are preferring accessing those services electronically.
In a survey conducted by the Ministry of Interior on its website, 1,078 people or 83% of the total 1,305 participants said that they always access services electronically. As many as 168 (13%) participants said that they use e-services occasionally.
“The e-services offered by the Ministry of Interior save your time and effort and help you access our services at your convenience. Do you take care to access them electronically?” was the question asked by the Ministry in the opinion poll.
In the survey, which started on April 1 and concluded yesterday, only 59 participants (5%) said that they did not use e-services.
It is to be noted that Metrash2 app offers more than 220 active services. These services are available in 6 languages — Arabic, English, French, Malayalam, Urdu, and Spanish. It guarantees safe and encrypted services and supports most smart devices, which contributes to reaching the largest possible segment of users.
Last month, the General Directorate of Passports of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) announced that the work was underway to convert the remaining paper services into electronic ones, including Establishment Card (Computer Card).
“Studies have been prepared in this regard and are almost ready. Therefore, this service will soon be available online and on Metrash2 app. Once service is available online, a person can easily renew the Establishment Card (Computer Card),” Lt. Col. Tariq Issa Al Aqidi, an officer from the Public Relations and Information Office at the General Directorate of Passports, had said.
The Coasts and Borders Security Department of the Ministry of Interior also launched a new sailing application service on Metrash2 which covers all marine vessels in Qatar territorial waters, on the sidelines of the 13th International Event for Homeland Security and Civil Defence — Milipol Qatar in March 2021.
More than 7 million transactions were completed through the Metrash2 app last year, a Ministry official had said earlier. The number of Metrash2 users has reached 2 million.
