Punjab Expands Driving License Center Hours: 24/7 in Major Cities, Late-Night Access Elsewhere

The change emphasizes digital access via online learner permits with instant, legally valid e-license downloads.

Overview

  • Licensing centers in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, and Sialkot now operate around the clock.
  • Centers in smaller cities run from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., with services available every day without holidays.
  • Applicants must first secure a learner’s license online or in person, complete a mandatory 42-day period, and then pass the driving test.
  • After the test, citizens can immediately download an e-driving license that carries the same legal status as a physical card.
  • Punjab Traffic Police urge motorists to drive only with a valid license, saying extended hours are intended to improve safety and reduce crowding at centers.
