Operating a car, motorcycle, or any other vehicle without a valid driving license is forbidden throughout Pakistan, including the capital city of Islamabad.

Engaging in driving without acquiring the license or possessing an expired document can lead to legal consequences. It is obligatory for citizens to promptly renew their licenses to steer clear of any challenging situations.

The Islamabad Traffic Police facilitate a streamlined procedure for the renewal of car and motorcycle licenses if the application is submitted within three years of expiration.

In the event of renewal within three years of license expiry, the applicant must furnish certain documents. However, if the renewal is sought after the three-year period, the applicant is required to undergo both a theory and a driving test.
