The Punjab government has announced a major update to the vehicle registration process, making it easier for residents to transfer vehicle registrations from other provinces to Punjab. This new policy, which will take effect next month, is part of an effort to streamline vehicle registration procedures and offer more convenience to vehicle owners.
Easier Vehicle Re-Registration in Punjab
Previously, vehicle owners were required to maintain the original registration from the province where their vehicle was first registered. This often led to complications for people who moved to Punjab from other areas such as Sindh, Islamabad, or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, with the latest changes in the Motor Vehicles Ordinance 1965, Punjab residents can now re-register their vehicles in the province without any hassle.
This update is a welcome relief for many vehicle owners who previously had to travel back to their original province for registration-related matters. With the new system in place, Punjab residents will no longer need to face these difficulties.

Step-by-Step Process for Vehicle Re-Registration
To transfer a vehicle’s registration to Punjab, owners must first obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Motor Registration Authority of the province where the vehicle was originally registered. This certificate confirms that the vehicle is free from legal issues, unpaid fines, or ownership disputes.
Once the NOC is received, vehicle owners can proceed with the re-registration process in Punjab. The government has assured that the new process will be simple and efficient, ensuring that vehicle owners do not face unnecessary delays.
Lower Costs for Re-Registration
One of the biggest advantages of this new policy is that the re-registration fee in Punjab is significantly lower than the cost of a brand-new vehicle registration. This makes the process more affordable for those who need to update their registration without facing excessive financial burdens.
By reducing costs and simplifying procedures, the Punjab government aims to encourage more vehicle owners to legally transfer their registration. This will also help in better record-keeping and ensuring compliance with Punjab’s local vehicle laws.

- Better Compliance: Ensures all vehicles in Punjab are properly documented under local laws.
- Improved Services: Easier access to vehicle-related facilities such as tax payments, registration renewals, and legal assistance.
With this policy set to roll out soon, Punjab residents who own vehicles registered in other provinces can now enjoy a much simpler and more cost-effective way to transfer their registration. This move by the Punjab government is expected to make the entire process of vehicle registration more organized and efficient, benefiting thousands of vehicle owners across the province.
If you have a vehicle registered outside Punjab and now live in the province, this is the perfect time to take advantage of this new rule and re-register your vehicle hassle-free!
