PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Traffic Police has introduced a digital driving licence service for the first time, allowing motorists to keep their driving licence on their mobile phones.
Chief Traffic Officer Peshawar Dr Zahidullah said the facility is available through the Rabta app. Citizens can obtain a legally valid digital driving licence within seconds by entering their CNIC number and driving licence number.
He said motorists will no longer need to carry a physical driving licence at all times, as the e-licence displayed on a mobile phone will be accepted during traffic checks.

According to officials, the initiative is part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Traffic Police’s digital governance strategy aimed at providing faster, easier and more modern public services.
The traffic police had earlier introduced an online driving licence verification service for citizens travelling abroad, enabling visa-related verification without visiting offices.
Dr Zahidullah said the use of digital technology would reduce unnecessary office visits, paperwork and delays. He added that more public services would gradually be shifted to digital platforms to provide transparent and convenient services from home.
