In Sindh, it is mandatory for citizens to possess a valid driving license in order to operate vehicles, such as cars and motorbikes, and avoid legal consequences. The process for acquiring a license involves both theoretical and practical tests administered by the Driving License Department. Here’s a complete guide on how to get your driving license in Sindh and the associated fees as of September 2024.

Minimum Age Requirement

As per the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, the minimum age for obtaining a driving license in Sindh is 18 years. Only citizens who meet this age requirement are eligible to apply for a license.

Steps to Apply for a Driving License

1. Online Pre-Appointment

Before visiting a driving license branch, applicants must first secure an online pre-appointment. This ensures that the process is smooth and avoids unnecessary delays at the branch.

2. In-Person Appearance

Once the appointment is secured, the applicant must physically visit the relevant driving license branch with their original Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).

3. Medical Fitness Test

As required by the Motor Vehicle Ordinance of 1965, all applicants must undergo a medical examination to confirm their physical fitness for driving.

4. Learner’s Driving License

Applicants are initially issued a one-year learner’s driving license. This allows new drivers to gain experience before obtaining a permanent license.

Driving License Validity and Fees (September 2024)

The Sindh traffic department offers two different validity periods for permanent car and motorcycle driving licenses—three years and five years—each with different fee structures.

  • Three-year validity: Rs. 1,410
  • Five-year validity: Rs. 1,860

Additional Fixed Fees for License Issuance

In addition to the standard license fees, there are several fixed charges associated with the issuance of a driving license:

  • Lamination: Rs. 250
  • NADRA processing fee: Rs. 65
  • Medical examination: Rs. 100
  • Correction fee (if applicable): Rs. 310
  • Duplicate license: Rs. 360
  • Public Service Vehicle (PSV) License: Rs. 500
  • TCS (for delivery in Karachi): Rs. 38
  • TCS (for delivery outside Karachi): Rs. 55

Obtaining a driving license in Sindh is a straightforward process if you follow the proper steps. Make sure to secure your online pre-appointment, complete the necessary medical checks, and pay the relevant fees to ensure compliance with Sindh’s traffic regulations. With various validity options and an interest in ensuring drivers are well-prepared, the Sindh Driving License Department is committed to maintaining safety on the roads.
