Punjab citizens can now renew their regular driving license through the Dastak App, as driving license services under DLIMS have been moved to the Dastak platform.
The service allows applicants to apply online, fill in their details, upload documents, generate a PSID, pay the renewal fee, and track the application without unnecessary visits to licensing centers. For people with busy schedules, expired licenses, or limited access to licensing offices, this online option makes the process much easier.
The renewed license is processed through the official DLIMS system after verification and approval. Applicants should make sure that their CNIC, old license details, photograph, and uploaded documents are correct before submitting the application.

Before applying, keep the following documents ready:
Step 1: Download and Open the Dastak App
Download the Dastak App on your mobile phone and open it. If you already have an account, log in using your registered details. New users will have to create an account first.
Step 2: Create an Account
Register yourself by entering your name, CNIC, mobile number, email address, and other required details. After registration, log in to your Dastak account.
Step 3: Go to Driving License Services
After logging in, open the services section and select driving license services. Choose the option for Regular Driving License Renewal.
Step 4: Fill Out the Application Form
Enter the required license and personal details carefully. This may include your CNIC number, license number, date of birth, license category, address, and other information required by the system.

If your age is above 50 years, you may also need to upload a medical certificate signed by a government doctor.
Step 6: Generate PSID
After completing the form and uploading documents, generate your PSID. This PSID is used to pay the government fee for license renewal.
Step 7: Pay the Renewal Fee
Pay the fee through any supported payment channel using the generated PSID. You can usually pay through mobile banking, internet banking, ATM, or other available digital payment options.
Keep a screenshot or receipt of your payment for your record.
Step 8: Submit the Application
After payment, submit the application online. Once submitted, the application will move to the verification and approval stage.
Step 9: Track Your Application
You can track the status of your application through the Dastak platform or the DLIMS tracking option. The system may show updates such as submitted, payment confirmed, under review, approved, processing, or dispatched.
Step 10: Receive Your Renewed License
After approval, your renewed driving license will be processed and dispatched according to the official procedure. Keep checking the application status until the license is delivered or ready as per the system update.

Applicants should renew their driving license before the expiry date to avoid extra charges. If the license has already expired, a late renewal fine will be added to the normal renewal fee. The fine depends on the license category and the delay period. For example, applicants may have to pay a lower fine if the license is renewed within 1 to 3 months after expiry, while a higher fine will apply if the delay is more than one year.
The final payable amount is calculated by the system and shown before payment, so applicants should carefully check the total fee before generating or paying the PSID.
If your application remains pending for longer than expected, first check whether the payment has been confirmed. Sometimes, payment confirmation may take some time after paying through PSID.
If the issue continues, keep your CNIC number, license number, PSID, payment receipt, and application tracking details ready before contacting support.
