Next, take these signed forms to Gate 1, where you have to go to the retinal scan area. Here the machine will take your retina scan, take an electric finger print of both index fingers, ask you to do a electronic signature and also take a photo (I looked sleepy and was not prepared for a photo :( , so be prepared for the photo), this photo will appear in your ID card.
Next go to the reception and get a token for the Smart ID counter. At the counter they will charge you for the ID card and ask you to wait till your new ID card is ready. That's it!!
For me they charged me Qr500/- for the smart ID card, which I thought was too much for something that was not mandatory. The typist told me that it might cost only Qr150, but it turned out to be way more. Not sure if I was overcharged by the Qatari at the counter who was angry since i did not understand his arabic :(
