In a groundbreaking move, the caretaker Punjab government has launched an online facility for obtaining a driving learner’s license.
The decision was taken to enhance public convenience and streamline the licensing process, especially considering the overwhelming number of people applying for licenses.
Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi launched the online facility on Sunday. In a statement on X, Naqvi wrote that citizens can apply online through the Punjab Police app, and the service is also available at 737 police stations and all Khidmat Marakiz across Punjab.

However, citizens have until December 31 to make their licenses at the current rate. Starting January 1, 2024, a revised fee structure will be enacted.
