The registration deadline is set for December 31, 2026. Cards that remain unregistered will be rendered unusable for travel starting January 1, 2027. TransPeshawar, the transit authority, has made registration available at ticket counters throughout station hours. To register, passengers must present their original CNIC and Zu Card, while station staff will capture biometric data and complete the registration process. TransPeshawar's CEO, Dr. Syed Murtaza Asghar Bukhari, emphasized the objective of this initiative to enhance security via passenger identity verification and promote safer, more efficient travel. He urged passengers to complete the registration prior to the deadline to prevent travel disruptions and congestion at registration counters during the final days.

Foreign travelers can utilize the Zu Peshawar transit system via the Zu App or a Single Journey Ticket. The cost of Zu Card registration is Rs 10.",
