The Lahore Traffic Police have introduced stricter measures to improve transparency in the issuance of driving licenses. DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir announced that cameras at all driving license testing centers will remain operational at all times and cannot be turned off.
Lifetime Video Recordings
Under the new policy, no driving license will be issued without video evidence of the test. Previously, test recordings were backed up for only 15 days, making it difficult to act on complaints and irregularities. Now, video backups from all centers will be stored permanently and secured with the Safe City Authority’s data center.
Preventing Irregularities
DIG Waqas Nazir said the updated system will eliminate the practice of issuing licenses to untrained or recommended applicants. Cameras and vehicle sensors will automatically detect errors during driving tests, ensuring that only qualified candidates are granted licenses.
Background
The decision follows recurring complaints about loopholes and flaws in the testing process. Officials believe that permanent video storage will provide a transparent mechanism for monitoring, auditing, and taking corrective action where necessary.

Sir
I obtained LTV license from Lahore passing my test through Lahore Omnibus Driving School, Garden Town Lahore in 1975. I used to renew it regularly but since moving from Lahore I was not able to renew it.
At present I am holding a valid Driving License issued by the Traffic Department , Ministry of Interior, Bahrain.
WHAT steps should I take to have Driving License issued by the Lahore Authorities .
Regards.
