Dear Mr.Kashif,
W.Salam … Aap nay online modification apply kiya hay aur shaayad permanent address change karnay kay liay kiya hay. Choonkay “Sale Agreement” hua hay lekin papers aap kay family members kay naam nahi huay hain.
Mumkin hay NADRA aap kay Sale Agreement aur Property Documents ko accept kar lay. Lekin agar koi problem ho tau please aap zaati taur pay NADRA ja kar unsay contact kijiay. NADRA kay paas deegar options bhi hotay hain aur woh zaroor aap ka permanent address change kar daingay, InshaAllah.

Sir,
Me NADRA office gya tha magar information desk pr hi mana kr dya mere documents bhi nahi dekhay or inkar krdya ke permanent address change nhi hi sakta
Dear Kashif Sahib,
Agar information desk waalon nay sahi say baat nahi suni tau aap NADRA kay kisi aur Centre pay try karain. Ziada imkaan yehi hay keh choonkeh documents aap logon kay naam nahi huay hain isliay problem aa sakti hay. Koshish kijiay keh property aap logon kay naam register hojae. Jab property registration ka process hojae tau registration ki raseed (receipt) lay kar NADRA Centre ka visit karain. InshaAllah koi raasta nikal aega.
Regards,
PakGuide
Phir bhi agar dushwari ho tau NADRA ki helpline : 051-111-786-100 say rehnumai haasil karain.
Agar aap kay tamaam documents theek hon lekin phir bhi problem solve naa ho rahi ho tau NADRA kay iss link pay complain bhi kar saktay hain:-

I had a old / non digital driving license sine 90’s & I kept renewing it by stamping it from post office. Unfortunately I lost it & its copies as well so now I’ve no proof of DL. Should I apply for a regular one or DL authority would give me a learning DL .
Your earliest reponse will be highly appreciated.
Dear Mr.Faisal,
Please meet any senior staff of Post Office where you renewed your license last time. With the help of your CNIC number, he will see their record and search your license number.
Otherwise, you can also contact the license branch, because finally the license fee reaches to them from post office. From their record, the license branch will search your license number. Then, they will renew your license and also they will issue the computerised license to you.

Best regards.

I need to select the first option for applying again for learner licence?
Learner driving license
Renewal of driving license
Just a reminder..I got learner license back in 2014, I need to apply for fresh learners license, right?
You can submit a fresh application for Learner Driving License. But, if the license authorities allow you to only renew the license, then you will have to “renew” the license. You must not be worried about renewal. License Branch will charge you only Rs.700 (Rs.100 per year) i.e. from year 2015 to 2021.
