The DLIMS Punjab License Schedule refers to the official timings and process for obtaining or renewing a driving license in the Punjab province of Pakistan under the Digital License Information Management System (DLIMS). Although the system is primarily online, certain in-person activities, such as the driving test and biometric verification, still need to be completed at designated licensing centers.

Here is a general outline of the DLIMS Punjab License Schedule:
1. Application Process (Online)
- Website Access: Applicants can visit the official DLIMS Punjab portal to fill out the application form for a new license or for renewal.
- Required Documents: Applicants need to upload or bring the necessary documents, such as:
- CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
- Passport-sized photographs
- Proof of residence
- Medical certificate (if applicable)
- Payment: Applicants can make the required payment for the license application through the designated payment options available on the DLIMS portal.
2. Licensing Centers Timing
- Office Hours: The licensing centers generally operate from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Monday to Friday), with a break for lunch, typically from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
- Weekends: Most centers are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but this can vary by location, so it’s advisable to check the specific center’s schedule.
3. Driving Test Schedule
- Booking: After applying online, the applicant may need to book a driving test appointment, especially for new license holders or those upgrading their license type (e.g., from a motorcycle to a car license).
- Test Timing: The driving test is generally scheduled during office hours. Applicants are notified of their appointment time when their application is processed.
4. License Collection
- After the application and driving test (if required), the applicant may need to visit the licensing center to collect the license in person, or they can opt for delivery via post (if the service is available).
- Collection Timing: The license can usually be collected on the same day or after a few working days, depending on the center’s workload.
5. Renewal Schedule
- Online Renewal: License renewal can be done online through the DLIMS portal, where the applicant submits the necessary documents and pays the fee.
- Biometric Verification: For certain renewals or new licenses, biometric data (fingerprints and photo) may need to be collected at the center.
6. Holiday Schedule
- Licensing centers are closed on national holidays, so applicants need to plan accordingly. Holidays can vary, but typically, centers observe public holidays like Eid, Independence Day, and Pakistan Day.
7. Emergency or Special Cases
- Urgent License Processing: In some cases, applicants may be able to apply for an urgent license or renewal by paying an additional fee. The availability of this service can depend on the specific licensing center.
Additional Tips:
- Always verify the specific center’s schedule on the official DLIMS Punjab website or by calling the center directly, as timings can vary slightly by location.
- For any changes or issues related to the schedule or process, you can check the DLIMS Punjab portal or contact the help desk for assistance.
By using DLIMS, the entire process has become more efficient, reducing waiting times and the need for excessive paperwork.
