Islamabad Traffic Police moved its learner permit, licence renewal and duplicate licence services online from Monday 19 October 2026. Applicants now register and apply on the Islamabad Traffic Police portal, dlims.islamabadpolice.gov.pk, instead of visiting a traffic office.

What changed in Islamabad
According to a report by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) dated 18 October 2026, an Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) official said the change takes effect on Monday 19 October. The services moving online are:
- Obtaining a learner driving permit
- Renewing a driving licence
- Applying for a duplicate licence when a licence is lost or damaged
The report says citizens can apply from home. From 19 October, the Traffic Headquarters at Faizabad and the Islamabad Police Khidmat Centres no longer handle these services.
How to apply
The report says applicants register and submit their applications on the ITP’s official portal, dlims.islamabadpolice.gov.pk. It does not list the steps inside the portal, so follow the instructions shown there.
Delivery of your licence
Renewed and duplicate licences are delivered to the applicant’s residential address by TCS courier, according to the report.
Tips from the Chief Traffic Officer
The report quotes Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan advising applicants to enter:
- their full name,
- a correct and complete address, and
- an active mobile number.
Incorrect or incomplete addresses can delay delivery.
What the report does not say
The report does not state any fees, the documents you need to upload, how long processing takes, or whether first-time licences are covered. I have not guessed at any of these. Check the portal for the current details before you apply or pay. Not in Islamabad? See our guides for Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh.
Preparing for the licence test
- Practise the signs part of the test with our free sign test, or the car driving licence test and motorcycle licence signs test.
- Read our guide to applying for a driving licence in Pakistan (DLIMS) and our guide to checking a driving licence on the official sites.
