Islamabad to Enforce Citywide Vehicle E‑Tags From Nov. 18

Officials cast the program as a security upgrade following the G‑11 court bombing.

Overview

  • Designated facilitation points will be announced by the administration, and tags will be issued on presentation of the original vehicle registration card.
  • The requirement covers every vehicle operating in the capital, including those registered outside Islamabad, with authorities saying untagged vehicles will not be allowed on city roads.
  • Stickers will be issued only at approved sites to maintain verification integrity, with multiple points planned to manage demand.
  • Excise officials said existing motorway M‑Tags will be accepted in Islamabad, so holders will not need a separate city e‑tag.
  • Authorities say the system will strengthen monitoring, improve coordination among law‑enforcement agencies, and reduce manual checks, and residents are urged to obtain tags promptly to avoid penalties.
