Some government entities are keen to keep up with the latest technologies and are updating their digital services which makes it important to enhance electronic authentication and verification tools. So far, 17 government entities in Qatar have adopted Tawtheeq. Other government entities will follow, so it makes sense to have a service like Tawtheeq.

What is Tawtheeq?

The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC) launched the National Authentication System called “Tawtheeq” in 2019 as a digital identity verification function. Tawtheeq acts as a national identity provider for all the government online services in Qatar when it comes to the management and governance of the digital identity of individuals and businesses that use websites and online applications to access government e-services in Qatar.

With Tawtheeq, users can gain access to government e-services using the same username and password, thus saving time and effort and delivering the services faster.

Tawtheeq offers faster user access to all government services and boosts user security in line with the Qatar Digital Government 2020 Strategy, which, as its first strategic objective, aims to better serve individuals who live and work in Qatar and businesses that fuel the nation’s economic growth.

It provides safe authentication that’s consistent with world best practices in information security. It also offers appropriate solutions to constraints that government entities face while developing their digital services such as the difficulty of verifying user credibility online during the electronic transactions and the vulnerability of digital identities to theft or hacking.
