How to Apply for a New Health Card in Qatar
If you do not already have a Health Card, you need to apply for a new Qatar Health Card rather than use the renewal service.
PHCC currently provides an electronic service for requesting a new Health Card through the Nar'aakom mobile application.
Access to relevant electronic services may require Qatar's National Authentication System, Tawtheeq.
Applicants can also check with their assigned PHCC health center regarding the applicable registration procedure and documents.
Documents Required for a New Health Card
Requirements can vary according to the applicant's category and circumstances.
Documents may include:
- Valid Qatar ID (QID)
- Personal photograph
- Proof of residential address as required
- Supporting documents for dependents, where applicable
- Applicable Health Card fee
Always check the latest PHCC requirements before submitting an application.
Health Card for Family Members in Qatar
Residents may also apply for Health Cards for eligible family members and dependents.
A valid Qatar ID and appropriate residential information may be required.
Residential location is important because PHCC health-center registration and assignment are generally connected to the applicant's registered residential area.
What If My Accommodation Is Provided by My Company?
If your accommodation is provided by your employer and standard residential documents are not in your name, contact your company's HR or PRO department regarding the appropriate supporting accommodation or address documents.
Requirements may depend on individual circumstances, so confirm the latest documentation requirements with PHCC before submission.

Is a Physical Qatar Health Card Still Issued?
Applicants should be careful with claims that Qatar has completely discontinued physical Health Cards.
Current PHCC information continues to refer to Health Cards and provides information regarding new Health Card issuance and collection.
Applicants should therefore follow the latest official PHCC instructions regarding physical cards and digital records.
Why Should You Keep Your Qatar Health Card Valid?
A valid Health Card can help eligible residents access Qatar's public healthcare system at subsidized rates.
Benefits may include:
- PHCC health centers
- HMC healthcare facilities
- Subsidized eligible healthcare services
- Subsidized prescribed medicines through government-run pharmacies
It is advisable to check your Health Card validity and renew it when required rather than waiting until healthcare services are urgently needed.
