Qatar Post

Qatar Post, a heritage company established in 1950 as the General Postal Corporation, has an emotional attachment to the people of this country and has been seated at the heart of the Ministry of Transport and Communication since 2013. We are the national exclusive provider of postal services in Qatar.

When the first Post Office opened in Doha in 1950, we used British stamps but in Rupee denominations and with the country name, "Qatar" over-printed in English. The first date-stamp was used for Registered letters at Doha Post Office on 17 May 1953, and in 1956 and 1960 the first Post Offices outside the capital were opened in Dukhan and Umm Said respectively.

In 1963 the General Postal Corporation forwarded just three direct dispatches of mail to other countries but now there are more than one hundred direct dispatches covering the entire world. Over 130 street posting boxes have been installed throughout the country from which mail is collected daily.
