By As the final deadline for M-Tag compliance approaches, authorities in Islamabad have taken significant steps to ensure that vehicle owners can complete the registration process without hassle. With fewer than 15 days remaining before the extended cut-off expires, motorists are being strongly advised to register immediately to avoid congestion, delays, and possible penalties at toll plazas.
The M-Tag system, introduced to modernize toll collection and reduce traffic bottlenecks, is now mandatory for vehicles using major highways and motorways. To support full compliance, officials have deliberately simplified the registration process, removing unnecessary paperwork and making on-the-spot issuance possible for most applicants.
Documents Required for M-Tag Registration
Motorists only need two essential documents to register for an M-Tag in Islamabad:
- Vehicle Registration Card or Book
- Original CNIC of the Vehicle Owner
Authorities have emphasized that no additional forms, photocopies, or supporting documents are required. Applicants who arrive with these two valid documents are typically processed quickly, often within minutes. However, those missing either document may be asked to return later, causing avoidable delays.
Multiple Registration Centers Across Islamabad
To facilitate easy access, One Network has established 15 M-Tag registration centers across Islamabad. These centers are strategically located to cater to residents from different sectors, minimizing travel time and long queues. This decentralized approach aims to ensure smooth operations as the deadline draws closer.
Officials warn that waiting until the last few days could result in overcrowding at registration points and toll plazas, leading to frustration for motorists. Early registration is strongly recommended to ensure uninterrupted travel.
Helpline Support for Motorists
For drivers who need clarity regarding registration timings, center locations, or documentation requirements, a dedicated helpline is available. Motorists can call 1313 to get accurate and up-to-date information directly from authorities.
Why Register Now?
With enforcement tightening and the deadline nearing, registering for an M-Tag is no longer optional. Completing the process now ensures smooth travel, avoids last-minute chaos, and helps contribute to a more efficient toll management system across Pakistan’s road network.
Motorists in Islamabad are encouraged to take advantage of the simplified process and complete their M-Tag registration as soon as possible.
