Islamabad Makes Major Changes to Driving License Issuance

The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has implemented significant changes to the process of obtaining driving licenses in the capital city. Inspector General of Police Mohammad Sohail Chaudhry has instructed officials to waive the urgent license fee and expedite the issuance and delivery of regular licenses. The new system eliminates the distinction between urgent and regular licenses, with applicants receiving their licenses at their doorstep within two to three days.

To apply for a license, individuals must complete an address form for the courier service during their visit to the ITP office. They will only need to visit the office once to complete all necessary procedures, including medical and physical tests, as well as photography. The ITP has also streamlined the process for renewing and obtaining duplicate licenses, allowing applicants to receive their renewed or duplicate licenses within an hour by paying the regular fee at the office or other designated police facilitation centers. Additionally, the department has eliminated the urgent fee for these services as well.
