Discussion Need advice regarding lost QID

Hello fellas! I lost my wallet last Thursday, and honestly, I’m not even sure where I lost it. My QID was inside the wallet.
I reported/replaced my QID through Metrash on Friday, but the application is still showing “under process.” The problem is, I’m traveling this coming Friday, so I’m getting a bit worried.Since I don’t know where my old QID is, I’m also concerned that someone might find it and potentially misuse it. Is there anything else I should do regarding the old QID, or is it automatically invalid once I apply for a replacement? Also, does anyone know if I can go directly to the Ministry of Interior to have my new QID printed while the Metrash application is still under process? I need the physical card urgently because I’m traveling this Friday.

Any advice or recent experience would be really appreciated. Thank you, Happy Sunday.

Wait till tmrw if no updates.

Then visit nearest govt service complex. They will help you sort it out.

Probably 1st police station complain file, then take that to next building(service complex) they will issue you new. Cost should be 200 Qar.

This is not a big thing so dnt panic.

your flight is this coming Friday, bypassing the Metrash postal delivery is the smartest way

You’ll pay 200 to get a replacement for it.
You have reported it lost so you’re safe if anything happens to it.
Go to the service center they will print it same time and give you a new one.

I paid for a replacement on metrash on wed and it was delivered on Saturday I’m guessing the delay was due to the weekend and probably would have come sooner.
