DLIMS Punjab — the Driving License Information Management System — is the Government of Punjab's official online platform for applying for a learner, regular, or international driving license without visiting a licensing office in person. In this guide, we'll walk through exactly how to use DLIMS Punjab (dlims.punjab.gov.pk), what documents you need, how much it costs, and how it now works through the new Dastak – One Window for all Government Services app.
What Is DLIMS Punjab?
DLIMS (Driving License Information Management System) is an integrated e-governance service that handles every stage of the Punjab driving license process online — form submission, document verification, fee payment, and card tracking. It was built to remove long queues at licensing branches by letting applicants complete the entire process from home.
As of the latest update, all DLIMS services have been consolidated into the Dastak app, described as a single "one window" portal for Punjab government services. Existing DLIMS users can link their old accounts to Dastak to carry over previous applications and records automatically.
Key Features of the DLIMS / Dastak Portal
- Effortless Application Process — apply for a driving license from home and skip in-person paperwork.
- Real-Time Application Tracking — a personal dashboard shows live status updates on your application.
- Secure Online Payments — pay through the ePay system and generate a PSID (Payment Slip Identification) token for ATM, online banking, or mobile banking payment.
How to Apply for an Online Learner Driving License (Step by Step)
- Create an Account & Log In — sign up on the DLIMS/Dastak platform to access the online system.
- Fill Out the Application Form — enter your details accurately for the learner license category (Bike, Car, etc.).
- Generate a PSID — after submitting the form, a unique PSID is generated for payment reference.
- Confirm Payment — pay the fee through ATM, internet banking, or mobile banking, and receive payment confirmation.
- Print Your Learner License — once payment is confirmed, print your learner's license directly from the system.
How to Apply for a Regular or International Driving License
The process for a regular or international driving license follows the same first four steps as above (create account, fill form, generate PSID, confirm payment), with two additional stages:
- Administrative Approval — your application is reviewed, and you're notified once it's approved.
- Processing & Dispatch — after approval, your physical license card is processed and dispatched to your address.
Documents Required for DLIMS Online Application
- A recent photograph (face)
- Scanned copy of the front of your original CNIC
- Scanned copy of the back of your original CNIC
- A medical certificate signed by a government doctor (required only for applicants above 50 years of age)
Documents should be clear, within the site's size limits, and uploaded in an accepted format such as PDF or JPEG.
DLIMS Punjab Driving License Fee
The learner driving license fee is PKR 500 per category (Bike, Car, etc.). Payment is made online after your PSID is generated, through ATM, online banking, or mobile banking channels.
How Long Does It Take?
For a learner's license, approval is instant — you receive your digital learner license as soon as the form is completed and payment is confirmed, accessible directly from your account login.

The portal provides three key self-service tools:
- e-License — start or manage your license application.
