LAHORE – Punjab’s entire online driving-licence system witnessed outrage, leaving citizens unable to apply for new licences or renew their expiring ones amid stern crackdown.
The sudden outage of the province’s official Driving License Issuance Management System (DLIMS) has thrown routine processes into chaos, triggering widespread frustration and uncertainty. The digital portal has become completely inaccessible.
DLIMS site was showing errors, with no explanation from officials about what caused the collapse. As of this moment, authorities issued zero statements, deepening concerns about the system’s stability.
With DLIMS offline, every core service has abruptly come to a halt with no new licence applications. On Tuesday, there we no renewals, no e-licence downloads and no real-time application tracking.
The outage is hitting hardest for people who urgently need licences, new drivers preparing for tests, individuals with documents about to expire, and anyone relying on DLIMS to avoid long in-person queues.
DLIMS was introduced as a breakthrough in modern governance—a sleek, paperless, time-saving alternative to the old bureaucratic process. It promised shorter lines, faster approvals, and a streamlined workflow.
Applicants can now get access as system return after hours of outrage.
