Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government introduced a digital driving licence service for the first time, allowing citizens to store their licences on their mobile phones.
According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Peshawar Dr Zahid Ullah, the facility has been launched through the “Rabta” mobile application. Citizens can obtain a legally valid digital driving licence within seconds by entering their CNIC number and driving licence number in the app.
He said the initiative eliminates the need to carry a physical driving licence at all times, as the e-licence displayed on a mobile phone will now be accepted during traffic checks.
