> The Islamabad Traffic Police will courier new licences to your door, a week after it cut the wait from two weeks to three days and scrapped the urgent fee.

Islamabad residents no longer have to go back to a traffic police office to collect a new driving licence. The **Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP)** has launched a **home delivery service with courier company TCS**: once a licence is printed, it is sent to the address the applicant gives, [ProPakistani reported](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/18/islamabad-launches-home-delivery-service-for-driving-licenses/) on Sunday 18 October, citing an ITP announcement.

The delivery service rounds off a set of changes the ITP made on 10 October, which cut the wait for a regular licence from **two weeks to three days** and scrapped the separate urgent fee.

## Driving licence home delivery in Islamabad: what changes

| Step | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Processing time, regular licence | About two weeks | Three days |
| Urgent fee | Charged for faster service | Abolished |
| Collecting the licence | In person at an ITP office | Delivered home by TCS |
| Renewal or duplicate | Urgent fee for quick service | Within an hour at the regular fee |

The 10 October changes were ordered by Islamabad Inspector General of Police **Mohammad Sohail Chaudhry**, [ProPakistani reported](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/10/islamabad-makes-major-changes-to-driving-license-issuance/) at the time. With the urgent category gone, every new licence follows one process.

## How it works

1. **Visit an ITP licensing office once.** You still have to go in person for the medical and physical tests and to have your photograph taken.
2. **Fill in the courier address form** at the office with the address where you want the licence sent.
3. **Wait for TCS.** The licence is dispatched to that address once it is ready. When the changes were announced on 10 October, Bloom Pakistan reported that licences would reach applicants within two to three days at no extra cost. The 18 October announcement, as reported by ProPakistani, did not mention a delivery charge or a time frame, so check at the counter.

Renewals and duplicate licences are quicker still: at an ITP office or a police facilitation centre they are issued **within an hour** on payment of the regular fee.

## Why it matters

Getting a licence in the capital used to mean at least two trips to an ITP office, and many applicants paid the urgent fee simply to avoid a two-week wait. For a working applicant in Bahria Town, G-13 or Bhara Kahu, cutting out the second trip saves half a day of leave and the fuel to get there.

The ITP has not published a separate helpline for the delivery service.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I get my Islamabad driving licence delivered at home?**

Yes. Since 18 October 2026 the Islamabad Traffic Police sends new licences through TCS to the address you give on the courier form at the licensing office. You still need one visit for the medical and physical tests and photograph.

**How long does a regular driving licence take in Islamabad?**

Three days, down from about two weeks, under changes the Islamabad Traffic Police made on 10 October 2026. The separate urgent fee was abolished.
