The Punjab government, which is led by a caretaker, has made great progress toward digitization. A new online system has been implemented to facilitate the process of obtaining an online learning license permit for citizens. The goal of this creative move is to streamline and enhance the licensing procedure, particularly in light of Punjab’s growing license application volume.
The online learning driving license application is now available to the public. The DLIMS website of Punjab Police can be used for this. Let’s examine the straightforward online application procedure.
