Peshawar residents have a new way to carry their driving license. As of today, Friday, September 12, 2025, the Traffic Police has introduced an e-driving license system. This digital option lets people store their license on their mobile phones, making it easier to stay compliant.
How the E-License Works
The new system eliminates the need to carry a physical card. Here’s how it functions:
- Access: Download the license to your phone using a new app launched by Chief Traffic Officer Harith Rashid.
- Backup: If your phone is off or unavailable, simply provide your license number to officers.
- Fines: Not having a license—digital or physical—will still result in a penalty.

Harith Rashid introduced the app to simplify the process. It allows users to store and show their license instantly during checks.
Using the E-License with Traffic Police
The e-license serves as a valid replacement for the polycarbonate card. Traffic officers will accept it during stops. Key points include:
- Download Option: Those without a physical card can get the e-version online.
- Avoid Fines: Showing the e-license can prevent penalties if you’re stopped.
- Acceptance: Police recognize it in all cases, making it a reliable tool.
If a violation occurs, presenting the e-license may help resolve issues with authorities.
Background and Context
Peshawar’s Traffic Police aims to modernize services. This move follows similar efforts in other cities to use technology for better enforcement. The app aligns with efforts to reduce paperwork and improve efficiency on the roads.
Official Outlook
Chief Traffic Officer Harith Rashid emphasized the change. “This app makes life easier for drivers,” he said. The police expect wider use as more people adopt the system. Updates on the app are available through official channels.
