Punjab Introduces New Driving License Cost

In recent weeks, the Punjab government has intensified efforts against individuals lacking valid driving licenses, prompted by a tragic accident in which a teenager crashed into a family car, resulting in the loss of six lives. The provincial administration, led by the caretaker chief minister, has launched a rigorous crackdown on teenage drivers, announcing the filing of FIRs against underage drivers and those without valid licenses.

In addition, the government recently declared an increase in annual license fees, though the decision has not yet been implemented. Lahore Traffic Police, through a recent tweet, revealed the new fee structure for driving licenses in Punjab. The fee for learner driving has risen to Rs. 500, and an annual regular driving license will now cost Rs. 980.

Non-compliance with license acquisition instructions may lead individuals to spend a night or two in the police station as a consequence. To enhance convenience, the traffic police has introduced an online service for license applications, aiming to simplify and streamline the licensing process due to the increased number of applicants in the region.

Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi launched this online facility on a significant Sunday. Citizens can now apply for learner's licenses through the Punjab Police app or at any of the 737 police stations and Khidmat Marakiz scattered across the province.

The online system also allows people to renew their licenses for varying durations, including one, three, five, and ten years, while international driving licenses remain valid for three years. E-licenses, both local and international, can be easily downloaded, eliminating the need for physical driving tests.
