On February 16, 2026, the Sindh Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department implemented the Provincial Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2024, which introduces a significant change in vehicle registration by linking number plates to the owner's Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC). This new system allows vehicle owners to retain their registration marks even after selling their vehicles, facilitating easier transfers. An official from the Excise department stated, "No additional fee has been set for obtaining a number plate on a CNIC," emphasizing the initiative's aim to improve transparency and streamline vehicle registration records. The amendment also abolishes the previous categories of commercial and private vehicles, introducing new classifications for motorcycles, rickshaws, and all types of four-wheel vehicles. The Act allows owners to retain deactivated marks for up to one year and ensures that existing number plates are recognized as personalized registration marks for the current owner.
