Punjab has introduced a major digital upgrade in public services by allowing citizens to renew their regular driving licenses through the Dastak App. The service, integrated with the Driving License Issuance Management System (DLIMS), enables users to complete the entire renewal process online without visiting licensing centers. This move is aimed at improving convenience, reducing waiting times, and supporting citizens with busy schedules or limited access to offices.

Fully online driving license renewal system through DLIMS integration

With the new system, applicants can submit their renewal application, upload required documents, generate a PSID, pay fees, and track their application status online. Once submitted, the application is verified through DLIMS before final approval and dispatch of the renewed license. The digital process ensures transparency while reducing manual workload at licensing centers.

Who can apply for online license renewal

Citizens who already hold a valid or expired regular driving license in Punjab can apply. Applicants must have correct CNIC details, an active mobile number, and access to required documents such as CNIC copies, old license images, and a recent photograph. Individuals above 50 years of age may also need a medical certificate from a government doctor.

Step-by-step online renewal process via Dastak app

Users must download the Dastak App, register an account, select driving license renewal, fill in personal details, and upload documents. After generating a PSID, the renewal fee can be paid through digital banking channels. Once submitted, applicants can track their application status until the renewed license is issued.

Driving license renewal fee structure and late charges

The fee varies by license category, with an additional courier fee included. Late renewal results in extra fines depending on the delay period. The system automatically calculates the total payable amount before payment submission.
