LAHORE: Punjab Traffic Police, the authorized body responsible for issuing regular driving licenses across the province, has updated the driving license fees for cars, motorcycles, and rickshaws.

A valid driving license is mandatory for operating vehicles on public roads, as traffic police are empowered to impose fines on drivers without one.

  • Three passport-size photographs
  • Medical certificate from an authorised practitioner
  • Medical fitness certificate (for candidates aged 50 and above)
  • Application Form (A)
  • Original learner’s permit (valid for at least 42 days)
  • Relevant ticket pasted on the form

Driving license fees (Effective January 2025)

  • Motorcycle license: Rs930 annual fee, plus Rs50 test fee
  • Rickshaw license: Rs880 annual fee, plus Rs100 test fee
