The Government of Punjab has introduced a game-changing initiative called Maryam Ki Dastak 2026, under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz. This service allows citizens to get their driving licence at home without visiting traffic offices or standing in long queues.
For many people across Punjab, especially in cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and Rawalpindi, this initiative is bringing real convenience and saving valuable time.
What is Maryam Ki Dastak Service?
Maryam Ki Dastak is a doorstep service that delivers essential government services directly to your home. Instead of visiting offices, a trained facilitator comes to you and completes the entire process.
This initiative is powered by the Punjab Information Technology Board to ensure transparency, efficiency, and digital security.
Whether you need a learner licence, renewal, or duplicate licence, everything can now be done from your home.
How Driving Licence at Home Works
The process is simple, smooth, and user-friendly:
- A government-authorized Dastak Facilitator visits your home
- Your original documents are verified on the spot
- Digital data (like fingerprints, if required) is collected
- Application is processed through an official system
- Your licence is delivered to your home
This system removes the need for middle agents and long waiting times.
