By The Punjab government has launched a major digital upgrade to its licensing services by introducing an online system for renewing international driving licenses. The initiative, implemented through the Driving License Information Management System (DLIMS) portal, enables both local residents and overseas Pakistanis to complete the renewal process from anywhere in the world.
This modern step marks a significant shift toward digitized governance, aimed at reducing long queues at traffic licensing centers and improving accessibility for millions of Pakistanis abroad who previously had to rely on relatives or travel back home just to manage paperwork.
DLIMS Portal Now Supports Online Renewal
According to Punjab Traffic Police, citizens can now log on to the official DLIMS portal to submit renewal applications for their international driving licenses. The service is available to all Punjab residents, whether they are living within Pakistan or overseas.
Through the portal, users can:
- Create an account using their personal details
- Upload the required documents digitally
- Submit the renewal request online
- Track application progress in real time
This streamlined process eliminates the need to visit any licensing office, ensuring a much quicker and more convenient experience for applicants.
A Major Step Toward Digital Governance
Officials highlighted that this new system is part of the Punjab government’s broader agenda to digitize public services and reduce administrative hurdles. By making licensing services available online, the government aims to enhance citizen convenience, lower operational burden at licensing centers, and support overseas Pakistanis who often struggle with in-person requirements.
The digital renewal service is expected to significantly improve efficiency by reducing manual paperwork and minimizing delays that applicants previously faced.
Convenience for Overseas Pakistanis
One of the most notable advantages of the new DLIMS upgrade is its accessibility for overseas citizens. Previously, international driving license renewals required physical visits or assistance from relatives. Now, with digital submissions and online tracking, overseas Pakistanis can manage the entire process remotely with ease.
