By In a landmark step to support overseas Pakistanis, the Lahore Traffic Police has launched Pakistan’s first International Driving License Kiosk at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore. This smart facility makes it easier than ever for travelers to get an international driving license in Pakistan — right before they fly abroad.
International Driving License Services Now at Lahore Airport
The new kiosk was officially inaugurated by Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Lahore Dr. Athar Waheed, who highlighted that the initiative is part of the traffic police’s ongoing efforts to modernize licensing services. With this new facility, travelers can now apply for and receive their international driving permit within minutes at the airport, saving valuable time.
The kiosk is open 24/7, including weekends and public holidays, providing round-the-clock access to licensing services for all citizens and travelers. The facility will help thousands of Pakistanis working or studying abroad who need a valid international driving license urgently.
Additional Licensing Services for Travelers
Besides issuing new international driving licenses, the kiosk also provides other licensing services:
- License renewals
- Issuance of duplicate licenses in case of loss
- Learner’s permits
By offering multiple services under one roof, the Lahore Traffic Police aims to make the licensing process faster, more transparent, and user-friendly.
Part of Lahore’s Smart City Vision
The International Driving License Kiosk Lahore Airport is a major step forward for the city’s smart public services. By using technology to streamline routine tasks, the Lahore Traffic Police is helping cut down on long queues, paperwork, and time wasted in manual processing.
With more Pakistanis traveling abroad every year for work, education, and tourism, this facility gives them peace of mind and freedom to drive legally in multiple countries.
What This Means for Overseas Pakistanis
The new kiosk brings Pakistan closer to global standards for smart urban services. Travelers no longer need to visit licensing offices in the city or deal with last-minute hassles — they can simply get their International Driving License right at the airport before boarding.
