DIG Traffic Punjab Muhammad Waqas Nazir said holding a valid driving licence is mandatory under the law. He warned that driving without a licence is a criminal offence and can lead to heavy fines and legal action.
He also clarified that the e-driving licence carries the same legal status as the physical card. Citizens were encouraged to use the digital option as part of the licensing process.
Punjab residents can download their e-driving licence through the official Driving Licence Issuance Management System website.
By selecting the e-licence option and entering their CNIC number and date of birth, users can download a PDF copy of their licence directly to their mobile phone.
