On January 30, 2026, Punjab made significant strides in digital governance with the launch of an online biometric vehicle verification system, as reported by TechJuice. This initiative, spearheaded by the Excise & Taxation Department, allows citizens and overseas Pakistanis to verify vehicle ownership from the comfort of their homes using PAK-ID. The system aims to streamline the verification process, reducing the need for lengthy paperwork and in-person visits, thus enhancing transparency and efficiency. TechJuice describes this development as a 'major step toward digital governance,' highlighting the positive sentiment around the initiative. This move is part of a broader effort to modernize public services in Punjab, reflecting a commitment to leveraging technology for improved citizen services.
