How to Get a Motorcycle Learner's Permit in Punjab

A valid motorcycle learner's permit or driving licence is required for every CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme applicant, regardless of gender. If you don't already have one, here's how the process generally works through Punjab's Driving License Issuance Management System (DLIMS).

The general process

  1. Generate a payment slip (PSID)

    Through the ePay Punjab app, the DLIMS Punjab website, or in person at a Traffic Police Licensing Centre. Select "Learner Permit" as the licence type and enter your CNIC and district.

  2. Pay the fee

    Pay the PSID through a bank, ATM, or mobile wallet as instructed on the slip.

  3. Complete the application

    Submit your CNIC and required details, either online or at the licensing centre, depending on what's available in your district.

  4. Receive your learner's permit

    Once processed, the permit is typically delivered by courier. Keep it with you — it's one of the required documents when you apply for the e-bike scheme.

  5. Apply for a permanent licence later, if needed

    A learner's permit must generally be held for a minimum period (commonly around six weeks) before you can apply for a permanent licence — but a learner's permit alone is sufficient to apply for the e-bike scheme.

Fees, processing times and exact steps can change and may vary slightly by district. These figures are commonly reported but not sourced from an official fee notification — confirm the current fee and process at your nearest Traffic Police Licensing Centre or the official DLIMS Punjab website before applying.

Once you have your permit, head back to the full documents checklist or the main e-bike scheme guide to continue your application.
