How to Complete Vehicle Transfer Verification via Pak ID App (Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad & Balochistan)

Vehicle owners across Pakistan can now complete biometric verification for vehicle transfers directly through the Pak ID mobile app of NADRA. What began as an Islamabad-only pilot has since expanded to Punjab (launched February 2026), Sindh, and Balochistan as well — the process below works the same way across all four, with only minor differences in local Excise office requirements.

The app-based system allows both sellers and buyers to verify their identity from home, making the transfer process faster, simpler and more efficient.

Authorities say the new digital system reduces queues and streamlines paperwork, sending applicants to the excise office only for final verification.

With facial and fingerprint checks available on smartphones, the system aims to offer a smoother and more secure transfer experience.

Important: In Punjab specifically, you must first pay the official transfer fee through ePay Punjab before opening the Pak ID app — the app will show an empty list or error if you try biometric verification before the fee is paid, since Pak ID only unlocks verification for transfer requests already active in the Excise database.
