Driving License Applicants Get Major Relief in Punjab

By Waleed Shah | Published Apr 18, 2023 | 1:03 pm

Driver’s license offices throughout Punjab have streamlined the application process upon special orders from Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. Usman Anwar.

According to a media report, the department has abolished the file system from the driving license issuance process. The applicants can now show their National Identity Cards (NICs) to apply for a driving license.

Furthermore, the department has also allowed applicants to perform driving tests on their private cars. These steps have been taken as a part of the paperless driving license issuance system to make the process simple and easy for the candidates.

24 Hour Service

In February, Punjab Police announced the launch of a 24-hour driving license service in six of the province’s most populous cities. These centers will serve citizens even after office hours and will allow them to obtain their licenses in as little as 24 hours.

DIG Traffic stated that driving test centers will be established in the province’s six major cities: Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Sialkot. He also stated that these centers will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    • بالکل غلط
      ایسی کوئی بات نہیں ،جو اپنی گاڑی پر ٹیسٹ دینا چاہتا ہے ۔وہ دے سکتا ہے ۔ٹریفک والوں کی طرف سے کوئی پابندی نہیں ۔البتہ جس کے پاس اپنی گاڑی نہیں پھر اسے مینول پر ہی ٹیسٹ دینا پڑتا ہے ۔

  • What is the use of Driving license. No police officer ask for driving license even on motorways. Then why people spent money and pricious time.

    • Jenb Faisal ..
      Even if they don’t ask..
      Suppose u are involved in an accident..
      And suppose you accidentally hit a person and he dies….
      If u have a driving license then
      Your case will be treated as an accident..
      But if u don’t have a license
      Then..
      You will be booked under the case of murder 302…
      ..

  • ڈاکٹر عثمان انور آئی جی صاحب پنجاب کا یہ جو ڈرائیونگ لائسنس کے متعلق اقدامات لوگوں کی آسانی کے لیے انہوں نے لانچ کیے ہیں یہ بہت زبردست ہے اور اس سے عوام کو ڈرائیونگ لائسنس حاصل کرنے میں دشواری نہیں ہوگی اللہ تعالی ان کے اس اچھے فیصلے کی وجہ سے اور برکت دے آمین

  • Please Chang the process of the catagary of licence.LTV and HTV..any body want HTV he should need to directly apply for HTV. This process is not implemented anywhere in the world. That we will make first LTV and then wait 5 years to convert HTV ..this is big problem for truck drivers

  • Also revise ur driving test style. Road test is a better option to test the driving skill.

    • Road test at driving test centres are just to park the car using reverse gare. This is not just real road test. While in reality, we use both gare (Rev and Forward) to drive the care and park it. Improve Road test procedure.

  • Please centralize it also so that resident of other district of Punjab could be able to get license from these cities without any NOC or service certificate

  • I have Learner
    Next procedure Learner time issue date is 29 November 2022 and till date is 28 May 2023
    Next procure??
    Plz

  • It is a good decision to provide driving licence.
    But do you think it will bring traffic sense among the citizens?
    Department should conduct awareness lectures in schools and in mosques otherwise fatal accident rate can’t be reduced.
    Booklet of traffic rules must be available at al-khidmat centres.
    Traffic police must make assure one way traffic in chowks . corruption on road ought to be stopped otherwise we will kill our dear ones turn by turn.
    Hope it would be taken positively.

  • In my own opinion,, it is good step taken by relevant authority giving maximum relief to citizens regarding issuance of driving licence.

  • Sorry to say but there’s no implementation of such relieves in reality..NO DRIVING LICENCE AND TESTING CENTER IN PUNJAB OPENS 24/7. Passing practical driving test seems impossible in Punjab specifically in Lahore. This kind of driving test is never seen anywhere else in the world. Pathetic. Instead of making it easier for your public, department is just busy in minting money by failing 98% of applicants in driving tests everyday.

  • Do not hide the comments that are not in favour. Every comment should be displayed.

    اجازت دی ہے۔ یہ سب جھوٹ ہے میرا تعلق سرگودھا سے ہے میں دو دفعہ ڈرائیونگ لائسنس ٹیسٹ کے لیے اپنی گاڑی لے کر گیا ہوں مگر وہاں پر ڈیوٹی پر مامور افسران کہتے ہیں یہاں پر اپنی گاڑی پر ڈرائیونگ ٹیسٹ دینے کی اجازت نہیں ہے
    اپنی گاڑی پر ٹیسٹ بھی نہیں دینے دیتے اور 200 روپے رشوت بھی یہ کہہ کر وصول کرتے ہیں کہ یہ ٹیسٹ کی فیس ہے
    Complaint کے لیے جو نمبر وہاں پر دیا ہوا ہے اس پر کال کرنے سے پتا لگتا ہے میری ڈیوٹی change ہوگئ ہے
