The Punjab government has introduced a new digital service to make vehicle verification simple, fast, and hassle-free. Through this new system, vehicle owners can now complete biometric verification online without visiting excise offices or dealing with agents.
This initiative is launched by the Excise & Taxation Department Punjab in collaboration with NADRA, using the PAK-ID platform. The service is designed to help both local residents and overseas Pakistanis verify their vehicles easily and securely.
What Is Online Biometric Vehicle Verification?
Online biometric vehicle verification allows vehicle owners to confirm their identity digitally using NADRA’s PAK-ID system. This process replaces the old manual methods and ensures quick, safe, and transparent verification.
Now, citizens can complete the entire process from home using their CNIC or NICOP, saving time and effort.
Who Can Use This Service?
This service is available for:
- Pakistani citizens living in Pakistan
- Overseas Pakistanis holding NICOP
- Individuals who want secure and official vehicle verification
This step especially benefits overseas Pakistanis who previously faced complex procedures.
