Islamabad Police introduces 24/7 driving license services at 12 police stations, bringing facilities closer to residents and reducing crowds at central offices.
Expansion of Licensing Services
In a significant step toward improving public services, the Islamabad Police has introduced driving license facilities at 12 police stations across the capital. The initiative is designed to decentralize licensing services, reduce congestion at central offices, and ensure that citizens in different sectors of the city can access services conveniently near their homes. Authorities have emphasized that this reform is part of their larger strategy to modernize public-facing operations and improve citizen satisfaction.

The following police stations are now equipped to provide license issuance and renewal services around the clock:
1. PS Aabpara
2. PS Kohsar
3. PS Lohi Bher
4. PS Sangjani
5. PS Secretariat
6. PS Shalimar
7. PS Tarnol
8. PS Bani Gala
9. PS Bara Kahu
10. PS Shehzad Town

Round-the-Clock Accessibility
Islamabad Police serves its citizens at all times by offering 24/7 service. To accomplish this, working professionals, business owners, and students now have the opportunity to fulfill their licensing needs outside of regular office hours, removing one of the most prevalent obstacles to accessing government services. This accessibility is likely to drastically ease delays and make the process more effective for all applicants.
Reducing Pressure on Central Licensing Offices
Historically, citizens were required to visit the central licensing offices, where issues with overcrowding and long waiting times were common. This will facilitate the distribution of services to 12 police stations, ensuring that activities in these central offices are minimal. This decentralized pattern saves time for applicants, in addition to enhancing service delivery as a whole, by utilizing the available police infrastructure.
Part of Broader Public Service Reforms
The officials have linked this to a broader range of reforms by the Islamabad Police, including mobile facilitation vans, digital appointments, and e-licensing alternatives. Combined, these efforts represent a trend towards more citizen-oriented governments and increased dependence on technology. This part of changing the licensing services to local police stations reflects a desire to be efficient, transparent, and more involved with the people.
Positive Public Reception and Future Outlook
It has received a lot of positive reception among residents, who consider the program a viable solution to the long-standing problem of accessibility and delays. Local access to the services will be handy to citizens who work in areas distant from central facilities. The authorities propose that, given the program’s success, it may be introduced in additional police stations in the future, which will contribute to a higher level of compliance and road safety in the city of Islamabad.
