Islamabad has introduced a fully paperless driving licence system, requiring citizens to carry only their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to the licensing office.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi officially launched the paperless licensing system at Islamabad Traffic Police headquarters on Sunday morning.
Chief Traffic Officer Muhammad Sarfraz Virk and senior traffic officers attended the launch ceremony held at the Islamabad Traffic Police licensing centre.
How it works
Citizens now need only their Computerised National Identity Card to complete the entire driving licence application and issuance process.
The new system removes the requirement to submit medical forms, attached photographs, photocopies, or any additional supporting documents at the counter.
Every stage of the process, from the medical examination through to the final issuance of the licence, is now conducted entirely digitally.
IGP Rizvi reviewed the newly established paperless counters and issued directions to officers on ensuring smooth implementation of the system.
He commended CTO Muhammad Sarfraz Virk and his team for completing the paperless licensing project within a comparatively short period of time.
The IGP stated that the licensing fee payment system would also be digitalised in the near future as part of continued modernisation efforts.
