The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has introduced a state-of-the-art digital driving license that incorporates 12 advanced security features. This new initiative aims to modernize the licensing process, prevent counterfeiting, and enhance the overall security of drivers’ identification. Additionally, efforts are underway to link the digital driving license to the Safe City project, NADRA, and the Excise Department to further streamline traffic management and reduce violations.
