What is a Vehicle Smart Card?
In Punjab, the traditional paper-based vehicle registration book has been replaced by a modern vehicle smart card.
It’s a small, ATM-sized plastic card with a built-in microchip that securely stores important details about your vehicle and its owner.
This includes:
- Registration number
- Engine number
- Chassis number
- Owner’s CNIC
It also features a QR code for quick verification of vehicle details.
