In a major step toward digital transformation, the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has launched a new Online E-Learners Permit system, enabling citizens to apply for a learner’s driving permit from the comfort of their homes. The service is available through the official portal at dlims.islamabadpolice.gov.pk.
According to Chief Traffic Officer Captain (R) Hamza Humayun, the initiative reflects the police’s commitment to modernizing public services and improving accessibility for citizens.
Extended Deadline for Driving Licenses
Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi has extended the deadline for citizens to obtain valid driving licenses until October 7, 2025. Starting from October 8, 2025, strict enforcement will begin, with unlicensed drivers facing arrest and vehicle impoundment.
Authorities stated that the extension was granted to give people additional time and facilities to complete the process. Special service desks have also been set up across Islamabad to accommodate the surge in applicants.
