The AJK government has embarked on a transformative journey to modernize its driving license system.
In an effort to improve road safety, enhance efficiency, and ensure that licenses are issued only to well-trained individuals, AJK authorities are introducing computerized driving licenses across all districts. This forward-thinking approach reflects the government's commitment to elevating public service standards and embracing technological advancements for the wefare of its citizens.
Under this initiative:
- Eligibility verification will be a priority, with stringent requirements to ensure applicants meet the necessary driving knowledge and experience criteria.
- The issuance of computerized licenses will commence across all ten districts in AJK under the supervision of Senior Police Officers (S.Ps).
This system will incorporate advanced features to validate the authenticity of driving licenses, making it nearly impossible for unqualified individuals to obtain them.
Updating Existing Manual Licenses
Holders of manual licenses will need to undergo a verification process to prove their driving competency.
This ensures that only those with adequate knowledge of traffic rules and driving skills are eligible for the transition.
One of the standout requirements for obtaining a computerized driving license in AJK is the mandatory training certificate. Applicants must provide a valid certificate from an officially recognized driving school.
This measure aims to guarantee that all drivers have undergone proper training and understand the fundamentals of safe driving.
The AJK government has partnered with authorized training institutions to streamline this process and ensure uniformity in training standards.
As part of the reforms, the AJK government has revised the driving license fee structure.
Senior Police Officers (S.Ps) in each district will oversee the formal issuance process, ensuring consistency and adherence to the new standards.
Special Training Programs for Traffic Police Officials
These programs, conducted in cities like Muzaffarabad and Mirpur, aim to equip traffic police with the necessary skills to:
- Manage the computerized license issuance process effectively.
- Enforce traffic rules and regulations with greater efficiency.
The digitization of the licensing system will reduce bureaucratic hurdles, making the process faster, more transparent, and user-friendly for applicants.
Raising public awareness about the new system and its benefits.
The integration of technology and training in public services demonstrates a forward-looking approach to governance.
