Renewing your car registration — known as istemara in Qatar — is an annual obligation for every vehicle owner. The process involves vehicle inspection, insurance verification, and visits to government offices, which can be time-consuming especially during peak renewal periods. AAA takes this burden off your hands with a complete istemara renewal service.
What AAA does for you
AAA's registration renewal service is a door-to-door solution. We pick up your vehicle from your home, office, or any location within Doha city limits. Our team takes your car through the full renewal process — technical inspection (fahss), insurance check, and registration processing. Once the new istemara is issued, we deliver your vehicle back to you with the updated registration.
Who is eligible
Registration renewal service is available to Club (QAR 500/year) and Gold (QAR 750/year) members. Each eligible membership includes one complimentary istemara renewal per year. Silver members can upgrade their membership to access this service.
Coverage area
Vehicle pickup and delivery for registration renewal is available within Doha city limits. This includes areas such as West Bay, The Pearl, Al Sadd, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, and surrounding neighbourhoods. If you are unsure whether your location is covered, call us to confirm.
What you need to provide
To process your istemara renewal, AAA will need your vehicle, valid Qatar ID, current registration card, and valid vehicle insurance. If your insurance needs renewing first, let us know and we can advise on the process. Any government fees for the registration renewal are payable by the member.
How to schedule your renewal
Call AAA at +974 4481 0500 or +974 4481 0400 to schedule your registration renewal. You can also reach us on WhatsApp at +974 4481 0400. We recommend scheduling at least one week before your registration expiry to allow sufficient processing time.
