Foreign License Holders Can Obtain Pakistani Driving License from Motorway Police

ISLAMABAD: Foreign license holders can now obtain a Pakistani driving license, but it is crucial to note that these licenses are issued exclusively by the Motorway Police. This initiative aims to streamline the process for expatriates and foreign residents wishing to drive legally in Pakistan.

According to official sources, applicants must undergo the same rigorous testing procedures as local drivers, ensuring that all drivers meet the necessary safety and competency standards. This includes both theoretical and practical examinations, which are designed to assess the applicant’s driving skills and knowledge of local traffic laws.

The introduction of this policy is expected to facilitate smoother integration for foreign nationals in Pakistan, enhancing road safety and compliance with local regulations. It also reflects the government’s commitment to accommodating the needs of expatriates while maintaining high standards for road safety.

Moving forward, the Motorway Police will provide detailed guidelines on the application process, including the required documentation and testing schedules. This initiative is part of broader efforts to improve traffic management and safety across the country.
