    Punjab Government Introduces Online System for Managing Weapon Licenses

    The Home Department of Punjab has improved the administration of weapon licenses by implementing a digital platform that enables citizens to conduct tasks such as license transfer, renewal, and the issuance of duplicate licenses through the internet.

    According to the department, individuals can now request the transfer of their weapon licenses and obtain duplicate versions via an online portal. Moreover, they have the ability to sell their existing firearms and renew their licenses across Pakistan without the need to visit government offices.

    This digital initiative seeks to minimize the necessity for physical interactions by providing a straightforward electronic submission method for all requisite documents and fee payments. This progress streamlines the procedure, assisting applicants in saving both time and effort.

    Procedure for Applying for a Weapon License

    Individuals wishing to apply for a weapon license should adhere to these steps:

    1. Fill Out the Application Form: This form can be retrieved from the official website of the Punjab government.
    2. Provide Necessary Documentation: Include a copy of your Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), two recent passport-sized photographs, and, if applicable, a copy of the National Tax Number (NTN) certificate for taxpayers.
    3. Submit the Application: Applications can be submitted online through the Punjab government’s portal.
    4. Undergo Verification: The pertinent authorities will verify the application.
    5. Receive the License: Upon successful verification, the license will be issued as a secure smart card.

    The department mentioned that this online system was established in compliance with the Punjab Arms Rules 2023, in partnership with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA). This initiative aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in the management of weapon licenses.

    All deputy commissioners throughout Punjab have been directed to inform the public about the new online platform. Applicants wishing to alter their weapon licenses are urged to utilize this system for a more effective experience.
