Unlike in the past, the driving licence candidate will only bring with him an identity card issued by NADRA and will become part of the system through biometrics.

He further said that in the paperless driving licence system, the candidate would not have to take the file and fill it up, nor would he have to go around the shopkeepers to take pictures for attaching on the file.

Similarly, there will be no need to go at the post office for driving licence tickets.
