Vehicle Registration

Motor vehicle registration is the registration of a motor vehicle with a government authority, either compulsory or otherwise. The purpose of motor vehicle registration is to establish a link between a vehicle and an owner or user of the vehicle. This link might be used for taxation or crime detection purposes. While almost all motor vehicles are uniquely identified by a vehicle identification number.

Notably, ICT Administration has also started a mobile registration service. The service can be availed through the official mobile app i.e. City Islamabad App. The app offers a number of mobile services to the users including token tax payments. You can also request mobile registration through our dedicated helpline.
