Islamabad driving license renewal fee update — January 2025

ISLAMABAD: Driving in Pakistan, including Islamabad, requires a valid driving license. Without one, you risk facing penalties and potentially worse consequences in the event of an accident.

To avoid these issues, the Islamabad Traffic Police has streamlined the renewal process for car and motorcycle licenses.

If you apply within three years of expiration, the process is relatively smooth. You’ll need to submit the required documents, and you’re good to go.

However, if you wait longer than three years, you’ll need to take theory and driving tests again.

License Fee in Islamabad

The renewal fee of driving license within 30 days stands at Rs2,000 while it will be Rs3,500 after thirty days but within one year of the date of expiry of the license.

The renewal fee for a driving license within three years of the expiry has been fixed at Rs 3,000. If the license has been expired for more than three years, the renewal fee is Rs8,000.

The fee for a learner’s driving license with a six-month validity has been set at Rs 1,000 by the Islamabad government.

The non-professional motor vehicle and motorbike driving license price is Rs 3,000.

Required Documents

• Original CNIC: Showing either a permanent or temporary Islamabad address, along with one photocopy
• Expired Driving License: A must-have for the renewal process
• Form-B or medical report
• Two passport-sized photographs.
