The Punjab government plans to introduce a revamped driver’s licensing system on January 1, 2024, to simplify and improve the license acquisition process. Several key features of the new system include:
- Eliminating the need for citizens to endure long queues for duplicate licenses or renewals, as these services will now be accessible online, leading to significant time savings.
- Citizens can obtain licenses valid for up to 10 years, and international licenses will retain validity for three years.
- The 20-year-old Oracle system, which is outdated, will be replaced with a modern platform built on .NET technology.
- The introduction of an E-License facility allows citizens to conveniently download both local and international licenses through the official website.
- To obtain an online learner’s permit, you can make the payment conveniently using EasyPaisa or Jazz Cash.
- Stringent measures are in place for motorists driving with an expired license or without a license, resulting in a fine of Rs. 2,000.
- The number of driver’s license issuing offices has seen a substantial increase from 46 to over 1300, ensuring enhanced accessibility to the licensing process across the province of Punjab.
