As you know Punjab govt. is no more renewing old (copy style) driving licenses. Today I went to apply for the new computerized license. Following is the process at Rawalpindi office, which I am sharing for benefit of other fellows:</SPAN>
- You need to submit your Original CNIC and get the pass for entry in office premises.</SPAN>
-
Step-1 (Verification of existing/old license): Go directly to Room#11 with your old license. Person there will verify your license (they verify information on your license with the information they have in their database) and will tell you the amount you need to pay for new license. There is usually a long queue there so its better to reach early. They start there work at 8:30 in morning. Another important thing is they stop the process during load shedding as they are using computers to verify the information. </SPAN>
-
Step ? 2 (Purchase stamps and prepare file): Next step is to purchase stamps (tickets) for the amount you have been told during verification. Stamps shall be purchased from post office (I purchased them from GPO Rawalpindi). You will get the required forms (along with file cover) from the shop (?khokha?) within the office premises next to the entry gate. He will charge you Rs. 40 for the forms and file cover. You need two photographs and copy of your CNIC to be attached with filled form. you also need to paste stamps on the main form.</SPAN>The man at shop can help/assist you in completing the form.
-
Step ? 3 (Medical Examination): ?Forms? that you have purchased in step-2 contain a medical examination form as well. A ?Registered Medical Practitioner? is supposed to fill and verify this form after your examination. License office has arranged this facility as well for your convenience :D. If you want to avail this facility, go to room#6 and have your examination. They usually test your eye-site in normal traditional style. They charge you a separate 100/- rupees for this service.</SPAN>
-
Step ? 4 (Verification of Papers): Now, once again go to Room # 11 and give them your file and old license. They will retain the file and license and will give you a slip.</SPAN>
-
Step ? 5 (Photograph and thumb impression):Go to Room#7 with the slip, they will have your photograph and thumb impression for their record. They will add delivery date on the slip, which you will keep with you.</SPAN>

Congrats! your process is complete (H).
