My motorcycle license was issue in 2006 which has been expired in 2009 I did not renew it after that and my aforesaid license is also has been lost. now i want to renew it and want to obtain motor cycle \ car license
Dear Mr.Saghir Rizvi,
Your license of motorcycle cannot be renewed because now you wish to get Car+Motorcycle license. Please apply for Car+Motorcycle Learning License. Although, the learning license is issued for one year, but after 42 days you can apply for permanent license.
The fee for learning license is Rs.150/- and for the 5-year permanent license is Rs.1,860/- only.

My driving license was expir ho gia hae main multan main hon .mera license karachi clifton ka hae.main kase renew karwaon .multan wale kehtae hain karachi sae ho ga.plz guide me.
Dear Mr.Abdul Malik,
Har soobay (province) kay alag alag qawaneen hotay hain. Agar aap ka Karachi jana ho tau wahaan say renew karwa lain. Yaa phir aap Multan main “learning” license banwa lain. Learning license one year kay liay hota hay lekin 42 days kay baad aap permanent license kay liay apply kar saktay hain. Driving tau aap ko aati hi hay, isliay aap permanent license ka test aasaani say pass kar laingay aur aap ka Multan ka permanent license ban jaega.
Multan ka license ban jaanay kay baawajood aap Karachi kay license ko hamesha sambhaal kay rakhain. Karachi ka license yeh show karega keh aap senior (puranay aur tajarbaykaar) driver hain, new driver nahi hain.

AoA, i made my license in Clifton branch in Dec 2016 and valid upto Dec 2021 with all formalities. After expiry i reached Korangi branch for renewal they said your license is original but data shows only learning license.
Please guide me what do i do?
Dear Mr.Faisal,
W.Salam … There may be some problems in Korangi Branch’s software/ computer connections with Clifton Branch. It is better for you to apply for renewal at Clifton Branch, because they had originally issued license to you and their record may be more upto date.
Best regards.

Is there any process to have renewed license on the same day. This is due to foriegn travelling.
Dear Mr.Ahad,
It is not in our knowledge that license may be renewed on the same day. However, what you can do is that please visit your nearest License Branch and request them for issuance of license same day. If they don’t agree, you may request them to accept your application for renewal and allow you to authorise any friend/ family member for receiving the license. Normally, the license branch sends the license at home address.
