ISLAMABAD: The National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) has introduced a cashless payment system for driving license fees to facilitate citizens and improve service delivery.

Deputy Inspector General (operations), Asghar Ali, formally inaugurated the cashless payment system in a ceremony.

The initiative aimed at facilitating applicants and visit to banks, providing a more convenient and efficient process. Under the new system, citizens can now easily pay their driving license fees through digital platforms such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, and various banking apps.

In collaboration with the National Bank of Pakistan, QR code machines have been activated at the Islamabad Driving Licensing Authority.

Similar facilities will also be made available at the Sheikhupura and Quetta driving licensing authorities.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior officials of the Motorway Police and the National Bank of Pakistan.

This modern facility is expected to ensure time and cost savings, enable hassle-free payments, and provide instant real-time reconciliation notifications in coordination with the National Bank of Pakistan.

The digital payment facility is a significant step toward modernising public service delivery.
