Motorway Police Opens Driving License Facilitation Center in Sindh

The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has opened its first Driving Licensing Authority (DLA) Facilitation Center in Sindh, introducing technology-based driving license services for citizens.

The new facility has been established at the DIG Office, South Zone, located on the M-9 motorway. The center was inaugurated by Additional Inspector General South Region Javed Akbar Riaz.

The establishment of the facilitation center is aimed at making driving license-related services more accessible and convenient for citizens in Sindh.

The technology-based facility is expected to provide a more organized process for people seeking driving license services through the National Highways and Motorway Police.

The launch represents an expansion of NHMP’s digital and technology-oriented public service facilities in the province.

By establishing the center at the DIG Office in the South Zone, the motorway police has created a dedicated location where citizens can access licensing-related services without relying entirely on traditional processes.

Driving license services are an important part of road safety administration because licensing helps ensure that motorists meet the required standards before operating vehicles on public roads and highways.

The introduction of technology-based services can also help improve the efficiency of administrative procedures and make citizen interaction with government departments more convenient.

The new center is located along the M-9, one of the major motorway routes connecting Karachi with other parts of Sindh and the wider country. Its location within the NHMP South Zone also places the facility within the motorway police’s existing administrative network.

The inauguration was attended by officials associated with the National Highways and Motorway Police, with AIG South Region Javed Akbar Riaz formally opening the facility.

The launch of the DLA Facilitation Center comes as government departments across Pakistan increasingly adopt technology to improve public-facing services.

Digital and technology-based systems can reduce paperwork, improve record management and provide citizens with more structured access to government services.

For motorists, access to dedicated licensing facilities can be particularly useful as driving license applications, renewals and other related processes involve a large number of citizens.

The NHMP’s latest initiative also reflects the growing role of technology in modern road and traffic administration.

The facility in Sindh is the first DLA Facilitation Center established by the National Highways and Motorway Police in the province, making its launch a notable development for NHMP’s licensing services.

Citizens using the facility will be able to access the services made available through the new technology-based setup at the South Zone DIG Office.

The move is expected to strengthen the availability of driving license facilitation services while supporting the department’s broader efforts to modernize its public service infrastructure.

With road traffic continuing to increase across major urban centers and highways, efficient licensing systems remain an important part of the wider road safety framework.

The establishment of the new center on the M-9 provides motorists in the NHMP South Region with an additional point for accessing driving licensing services.
