Punjab to Computerise Arms Licences in 9 Districts

The Punjab government and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to start issuing computerized arms licenses in the province.

Not to mention, the MoU for initiation of the service was signed in April 2014, however, the process which was delayed due to non-appointment of Chairman NADRA. The process has now been initiated and service will be made live soon.

A statement said that in initial phase licenses will be given in 9 districts of Punjab and old licenses will be replaced by smart cards.

These nine districts include:

  • Rawalpindi
  • Multan
  • D. G. Khan
  • Sahiwal
  • Bahawalpur
  • Lahore
  • Gujrat
  • Gujranwala
  • Sargodha
  • Faisalabad

All the applicants for renewal of their arm license will submit their application in respective district’s Deputy Commissioner Office, along their old arm license, photocopy of computerized national identity card and challan.

Applicant will be given a token after attestation of all his documents. Later on applicant will have to go through the processes of bio metric, digital photography and other such systems.

After successfully completing the whole process applicant’s old license will be cancelled and new temporary permit will be issued.

      • well said . biomatric/ chip based project is an asset for state’s security law and order. it is not someone’s personal issue , if one thing is best for state , then best for all of us

      • bilal sb i visited Nadra distric office and completed my arms licensecomputerization process and submitted all required documents. Nadra issued me 30 months valitdity document , now whats next? how much time it will take?

      • Dear Mr. Bilal,
        People like me who paid dealers for arm licence and eventually came to know their licence is fake stands no where. Is there any policy to cater people like us. I have been paying tokens for five years and I was simply told my licence is fake. What should I do?

        • This was the sole purpose to identify the licenses with no record… u will have to apply for new one from DCO office because we are just revalidating licenses upto 2014 from 1998. Thx

  • in 2015 and after more 30 years of rule in Punjab now they realized that the licenses should be computerized

    • Ap ki soch ko 21 topon ki slami. Why u realised to have smartphone while u were living without it since soo many years or you would be happy with nokia 3310…

      • Hi Mr Iqbal, I am in overseas and my license was originally issued in 2007. Would you please advise when computerization process of 2007 license will kick in, as now 2009 to 2014 licenses are being dealt with? In case of cancellation, is there a chance of renewal ? Further what if someone wants to apply for a new license, how long does it takes? Apologies for asking too many questions. You seems to be a helping person.
        many thanks
        Hassan

        • It will be updated when we will receive any further instruction regarding next phase.
          We are currently processing for revalidation only. Other things like cancellation or transfer of ownership is done by concerned deoartement ( punjab govt.) Welcome for any query

          • aoa bilal bhai new licence nadra se he issue han gay ya dco office se im from lahore thnx for ur coporation

            • Nadra is only revalidating licenses issued betweenn2009-14. New licenses are not yet announced for Nadra. Further details can be obtained from DCO offices …thx

                  • bilal bhai, a little question , yeh 1400 rs fee kiss account mein jama ho gi OMNI DUKAN se any specifications??

                  • Bilal Sb.
                    A. O. A.
                    I got a licence for a 30 bore pistol from Assistant Commissioner/ Sub Divisional Magistrate Pattoki District Kasur on 26.05.1994. My licence has since been regularly renewed up to 31.12.2017 by post office. How should I proceed now for renewal of the licence? I shall be grateful for the guidance. And also inform me about the renewal date of licences issued from District Kasur.

                    • W slam. Ur licenses might be renewed from same distt. And all licenses issued after 1984 to 1999 are being renewed now. book let licenses will be treated as cancelled after deadline. So plz contact respective nadra office for revalidation of ur license. For more info. Plz contact 051-111 786 100 or 7000 ( mobile) Help line. Thanks

          • What about the 40 years old genuine licences of KPK(then Frontier) whose token are being paid in the Punjab regularly. The NADRA has not computerized such licences because data of other provinces is not available; but these will be computerized in next phase, as told by the NADRA branch manager after suffering hardship for acquiring token by a senior citizen.

            • Sir… Moi Fedral and Punjab have agreements with Nadra to convert these licenses into computerized. Others govt.s are independrnt. Hopefully next would be Sindh govt. To go for it but no news for rest…

              • I am from Gujrat and an overseas Pakistani. I was issued MOI green book All Pakistan licence in 1991/92, which i keep on renewing till 2012. In 2012 i filled the new form and got the computerized licence from NADRA for 1 year validity to expire in Aug’2013. Since that date it is expired and we were getting update every now and then from NADRA office that there was no news for renewal of those expired licences. Lately the expiry date is extended up to 30 Jun 2015 by a letter issued by Ministry of Interior, Islamabad.

                Recently I have been informed that i again need to fill up another form for issuing different license by NADRA (though form is not available also). Now i am confused that some staff may not be treating it like computerization of Punjab Licence and i may not end up getting a Punjab based license only instaed of All Pakistan.

                Kindly guide and also inform if the new form is mandatory then do i need to be present in person. Any option of giving bio-metrics in Dubai Consulate available?

                Many thanks

                • Aoa dear…ur id card number required. U may inbox me @fb to check ur approval status by MOI

                  • Mr Bilal I sent you my nicop number on fb vvia massenger.

                    I already hd moi licensed duly converted to nadra card which I did in year 2012 I guess but since then it is expired.

                    Thanks for your help.

                    • Respected Sir, 1 week ago we submitted licence of arms for convert to computerised licence, I applied from mandi Bahauddin amd licence is originally from gujranwala please may you confirm how much time they will take for verification???
