The data e-registration period for Qatar Census 2020 has been extended until mid of this month, Qatar’s Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA) has announced.

The decision comes in view of the “continuous interest and turnout of households and individuals to complete the census data electronically,” PSA said in a statement.

PSA has urged everyone who has yet to provide the required data for the Qatar Census 2020 to make use of the extension.

To make it easier for people in Qatar to fill in their data, the authority had recently unveiled a cutting-edge mobile application. 

Known as ‘Qatar Statistics,’ the app is available for download for both Android and iOS users and is free of charge. Users of the app can find a direct link to register to fill in the data for the Census electronically.

PSA highlighted that submitting data electronically is an easy and convenient method as people can do so at any time and from anywhere. It is a safe way that also ensures complete confidentiality.

People can guide any queries related to the electronic form and how to complete it to the toll-free number (8000800), PSA mentioned. The number can be contacted from 8 am to 8 pm.

The authority further praised the huge turnout for the e-registration service, saying that it mirrors 'community awareness of the importance of this project and the role of technology in its implementation.'

Recently, His Excellency Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Abdulaziz Al Thani also participated in Qatar Census 2020 by filling in the online form of the census. HE the Minister urged citizens and residents to cooperate with the authorities and provide the required data for Qatar Census 2020.

Qatar Census 2020 is one of the most significant statistical projects to gather the latest data of individuals, families, buildings, and establishments in Qatar.
