pakistani.siIndependent general guidance, not a government service or an application portal. Requirements vary by location and circumstances. Confirm current eligibility, documents, fees, processing times and the correct office on the official government website before applying. Never send identity documents, CNIC numbers, passwords or OTPs to this site.
Steps to get started
- Find your provincial or territorial traffic police or licensing authority through its government website. Punjab’s Dastak service is one local example, not a nationwide portal.
- Choose the right service: learner permit, regular licence, renewal or duplicate. Check the rules for the vehicle category you intend to drive and your eligibility.
- Read the official checklist for identity documents, photographs, any medical assessment and test requirements. Confirm appointments and application steps before travelling.
- Prepare using the authority’s road-sign and road-safety information. After applying, use the official tracking or verification service and retain your receipt privately.
Before you apply
A learner permit is not unrestricted permission to drive. Follow its conditions. Avoid anyone promising a licence without required checks or tests.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Punjab’s portal for any Pakistani licence?
Do not assume so. Use the licensing authority responsible for your jurisdiction and confirm any transfer or renewal rules.
Do I need a learner permit before a regular licence?
Check your licensing authority’s rules for your vehicle category and circumstances, including any learner stage and testing requirements.
