LAHORE

The Punjab government has linked its driving licence system with the Dastak citizen services app, enabling residents to access key licensing services through a unified digital platform as part of the province’s broader e-governance strategy.

The integration is expected to simplify the process of obtaining and managing driving licence-related services, reducing the need for citizens to make repeated visits to government offices and improving overall service delivery.

Officials say the move will allow users to access driving licence information and related services more conveniently through the Dastak app, which has been developed to bring multiple government services directly to citizens through digital channels.

The initiative reflects Punjab’s growing focus on technology-driven governance, aimed at enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in public service delivery. By connecting licensing services with the app, authorities hope to save citizens time while streamlining administrative processes.

Digital governance experts view the integration as another step toward creating a more connected and citizen-centric public service ecosystem, where essential government services can be accessed through smartphones and online platforms.

The development comes amid increasing efforts by provincial authorities to expand the range of services available through digital platforms and reduce bureaucratic hurdles through the use of technology.
