This update affects licenses for cars, motorcycles, and rickshaws, reinforcing the necessity of having a valid license for operating vehicles on public roads.

To obtain a driving license, applicants must successfully pass practical and road sign tests, along with submitting the required documents, which include a copy of their CNIC, three passport-sized photographs, a medical certificate from an authorized practitioner, a medical fitness certificate for those aged 50 and above, Application Form (A), and an original learner’s permit valid for at least 42 days.

The updated fees for one-year licenses are as follows:

• Motorcycle License: Rs930 annual fee, plus Rs 50 test fee.

• Rickshaw License: Rs880 annual fee, plus Rs 100 test fee.

• Car License: Rs1,830 annual fee, plus Rs 150 test fee.

These changes aim to enhance road safety and compliance with traffic regulations. In a related move, the Karachi traffic police have begun a crackdown on unlicensed drivers, imposing fines for operating vehicles without a valid license.
