Pakistan Gets Its First National Driver’s License Repository

The National Highways and Motorways Police has launched a National Driving Licenses Repository to centralize the issuance and renewal of driver’s licenses all over Pakistan.

The launch ceremony was chaired by the Inspector General of the National Highways and Motorways Police (IG NHMP), Dr. Syed Kaleem Imam, and officials from other police departments attended it both in-person and via an online video link.

The National Driving Licenses Repository (NDLR) is intended to centralize the system of the issuance, renewal, and cancelation of driver’s licenses. The authorities have also incorporated a Point System into the database to improve the driving culture and reduce accidents and crimes.

The Chairman of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), Azfar Manzoor, announced this during the ceremony for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the NHMP and the PITB.
