Get your Driving License Online with DLMIS
Getting a driver’s license in Pakistan without a problem has always been a point of discussion among drivers. While many drivers waited long in the authorized centres, others continued to drive without a license. Here is an easy way to apply and track your request through DLIMS Tracking.
However, with the recent developments and reforms to implement traffic laws, many vehicle owners are rushing to license centres to get their licenses. If we review the former practices, any candidate who wished to apply for a driving license had to visit the authorized centre with the necessary personal documents. While this may be true, candidates had to pay a lot of visits and appear for a driving test to get the license successfully. Did you know the government has made it relatively easier for drivers to get their rights? If not, let us share the good news. With the launch of the government’s Driving License Information Management System (DLIMS), you can now easily apply for a license online and receive it at your doorstep. In this article, we have gathered all the details for you to use and verify your driving license online, along with DLIMS Tracking. By the end of the article, you will also be able to find out how to track driving license delivery online through DLIMS. Let’s get started!
