It is more evident that all engineers working in Qatar required to be registered by the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning under the Engineers & Engineering Committee Services.
All engineers are classified in accordance with the years of work experience:
- Grade A – More than Ten Years
- Grade B – Between Five to Ten Years
- Grade C – Less than Five Years
MMUP Engineering renewal and upgrading requires that you submit all documents personally to MMUP offices. No need for on-line application. The new requirement of the MME (previously MMUP) – UPDA is that all registrations including renewal and upgrading shall be through on line application only. The link to the website below:
http://www.mme.gov.qa/cui/view.dox?id=1240&contentID=1313&siteID=2
The requirements are as follows:
Accomplished MMUP Application Form 6 with sponsor stamp and signature (see attached MMUP Form6).Copy of MMUP Engineers certificateCopy of QID and passportCopy of Stamped/attested Work CertificatesOne (1) pc latest 2X2 ID Picture
Proceed to MMUP Building in West Bay Ground Floor area and file your documents on Window G.
If all your documents are in order you need to pay 200QAR (ATM or credit card only) and came back after 2 weeks for the ID/certificate.
Other useful tips and information are as follows:
- As of 2015 MMUP replaced the certificate with ID similar to our driving license and Qatar ID.
- You must renew your MMUP Engineer registration one month before expiry to avoid penalties
If you have other useful information and insights, I will gladly include them in the comments below.

I came back to this page to check for the renewal of the MMUP ID and I saw this original post way back 2017 before getting my ID.
So with this, I just want to share my experience.
I was able to take the exam even when I had Foreman Visa.
After getting the license, I tried to negotiate my salary with my employer. The negotiation did not go well and I had to resign from that company.
I left the country and came back with new employer and it was very easy for them to apply for me my Engineer Visa since I have the MMUP ID. My new employer also arranged to change the name of the employer on the MMUP ID card.
I hope everything went well in your case also

Hi,
I want to renew and upgrade my MMUP registration through online.
I followed the steps as suggested and prior to uploading of documents there are terms and condition “Committee’s requirements for accreditation” which has to be complied.
For the Category: Certificates of experience issued within the State of Qatar – it states that
1. The duration of the Engineer’s work in consulting companies shall not be calculated after 01/06/2011.
2. The duration of the Engineer’s work in the contracting companies shall not be calculated after 01/01/2014.
My MMUP certificate was dated 1-January-2014 which has a total experience of 4 years at the time of accreditation and since then I have added 3 more years of experience.
Can I use my latest experience to upgrade?
Or I will end up just renewing?
What is the process to upgrade on later stage after renewing?

Appreciate your efforts in clearing doubts with your big heart. One of our Engineers have had his UPDA since 2012 and got expired on the 30th October 2017. He left Qatar and came back in a new visa under our sponsorship but by the time we got his QID stamped, it was 3 months after the expiry of UPDA. Please let me know if there are any ways that this could be renewed. Some one in UPDA said, submit renewal online and then if rejected, go to the UPDA office and request them but cant find any link for online renewal. Would really appreciate your valuable comments
