Smart Cards Become Necessary for Vehicle Registration

The Department of Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control (Punjab) has recently mandated computerized smart cards for vehicle registration, with a fee of Rs. 1300. These smart cards have a validity of one month and will be delivered directly to the applicant's address, facilitated by Pakistan Post.

Discontinuation of Number Plates

Computerized number plates have been discontinued due to complaints about their substandard quality. As a result, car and motorcycle owners have had to resort to the open market for number plates.

Required Documents for Registration

To register local and imported vehicles, car owners need various documents. For local vehicle registration, the required documents are:

National Identity Card (NIC)
Smart Computerized Card
Proof of Ownership (vehicle invoice, sales certificate of a car or bike)
Insurance Certificate
Copy of the car owner's CNIC
Vehicle Inspection Certificate

For original purchasers of unregistered vehicles, the necessary documents include:

Application for vehicle registration (Form F)
Copy of the car owner's CNIC
Original sales certificate of the vehicle
Original sales invoice of the vehicle
Online Registration Process

Last year, the Punjab Excise Department introduced a user-friendly process to bring car registration and vehicle transfer services directly to citizens' doorsteps. This initiative aimed to simplify the often cumbersome procedures associated with vehicle ownership in the region.

Citizens seeking new registrations or ownership transfers can call the Punjab Information Technology Board’s helpline at 080008786 to schedule an appointment. An Excise Department official will then visit the applicant's home to facilitate the registration or transfer of their car or motorcycle.
