Islamabad Traffic Police has announced the introduction of online driving licence services from October 19, 2026 allowing residents to apply for learner permits renew driving licences and request duplicate licences through its web portal.
Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar said the initiative aims to make licence-related services more convenient for citizens and simplify the application process.
According to the announcement these services will no longer be available at Traffic Headquarters and police facilitation centres from October 19. Applicants will instead need to use the Islamabad Traffic Police online portal to submit their requests.
Driving licences to be delivered by courier
Kainat Azhar said renewed and duplicate driving licences would be delivered directly to applicants’ homes through courier services.
She advised residents to enter their complete names, correct residential addresses and active mobile phone numbers when completing online applications.
The traffic police chief warned that incorrect or incomplete address details could cause delays in licence delivery. Applicants should therefore review their information carefully before submitting their requests.
What residents need to know
The shift to online applications is intended to reduce the need for in-person visits and make routine driving licence procedures easier for Islamabad residents.
People planning to apply for a learner permit, renew an existing licence or obtain a duplicate should use the Islamabad Traffic Police web portal after the new system takes effect.
The announcement represents a move towards digital public services in the federal capital, with courier delivery providing an additional convenience for applicants.
Residents should check the official Islamabad Traffic Police portal for application instructions and any required documents or fees.
