Maryam Ki Dastak Services List in Punjab: All 76 Services, and Which Need the App
Maryam Ki Dastak lists 76 Punjab services from 19 departments, from domicile to FIR copy. Only 6 licence services are self-service; the rest come to your door.
Maryam Ki Dastak, Punjab's doorstep service portal, now lists 76 government services from 19 departments: 52 for citizens and 24 for businesses. Only the 6 driving licence services are marked for self-service on the website. For the other 70, Dastak sends a trained facilitator to your home, booked through the Dastak Citizen App. The helpline is 1202.
We opened the services page on dastak.punjab.gov.pk on 11 November 2026 and counted every service under every department. The full list is below, so you can see at a glance whether the paper you need can come to your door. If you only want to know how Punjab's Dastak differs from the KP service of the same name, read our Dastak Punjab and KP explainer.
Dastak lists 76 services from 19 departments
The services page splits the list into two tabs. The Citizen tab has 11 departments and 52 services. The Business tab has 8 departments and 24 services, mostly licences and approvals for firms. Together that is 76 services.
Four departments carry most of the load. The Lahore Development Authority has 13 services, the Livestock and Dairy Development Department has 12, and Punjab Police and Excise and Taxation have 8 each.
| Department (Citizen tab) | Services | What you can request |
|---|---|---|
| DLIMS (driving licences) | 6 | Learner licence, learner renewal, regular renewal, duplicate licence, duplicate and renewal of international licence |
| Local Government and Community Development | 4 | Birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates |
| Punjab Police | 8 | Traffic challan, Safe City challan, tenant registration, FIR copy, crime report, loss report, general police verification, character certificate |
| Lahore Development Authority | 13 | Lien, litigation and caution marking or removal, mortgage cancellation, change of address, name correction, building period extension, mutation copy, registry copy, reply to notice |
| Social Welfare Department | 1 | Appointment for a disability certificate |
| Excise and Taxation | 8 | Vehicle registration, transfer and token tax, property tax and its NOC, professional tax, cotton fee, e-auction payments |

| Water and Sewerage Authority | 2 | Domestic and commercial water connection |
| Higher Education Department | 1 | Apply for college admission |
The Business tab covers 24 licences and approvals
The Business tab is for firms, farms and professionals. It is mostly livestock licences and environmental approvals. A shop owner or a small factory will find the fire safety NOC and the food licence most useful.
| Department (Business tab) | Services | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Livestock and Dairy Development | 12 | Semen distributor and importer licences and renewals, AI technician licence, feed mill NOCs |
| Environmental Protection Agency | 6 | EIA and IEE approvals at head office, division and district, compliance confirmation, import or export recommendation |

| Energy Department | 1 | Sanction for earthing a power plant connection |
| Home Department | 1 | NOC for fire prevention measures |
| Irrigation Department | 1 | NOC that a site is not prone to flooding |
Only the 6 licence services are self-service on the website
Each service on the page carries a flag for self-service. We found it switched on for the 6 DLIMS licence services and off for the other 70. The site also says doorstep delivery is available only through the Dastak Citizen App, so for a birth certificate or a domicile you should expect to use the app.
When you pick a service, the site offers two routes. Self Service means you apply online and collect the final document from the office yourself. Doorstep Service means a facilitator collects your papers and delivers the document to your home.
All DLIMS services have moved to the Dastak web platform, the site says. The same page has tools to generate an e-licence, track a licence by CNIC, and verify a regular, international or juvenile licence. If you want to visit an office instead, our e-Khidmat Markaz guide lists the centres and hours.
How to book a Dastak service at home
The booking takes a few minutes if your CNIC and phone are in your own name. Here is the order we would follow, based on the steps the portal shows.
- Install the Dastak Citizen App from the official link on dastak.punjab.gov.pk, or press Register as Applicant on the website.
- Sign up with your CNIC and a mobile number registered in your name.
- Search for the service, for example "Domicile Certificate", or open its department.
- Choose Doorstep Service and pick a time for the facilitator's visit.
- Keep your originals and copies ready. The facilitator checks them and submits the case.
- Pay the government fee and the service charge by one of the listed methods.
- Track the request in the app, then receive the document at home.
Dastak's own launch note lists five ways to pay: bank transfer (IBFT), JazzCash, Easypaisa, cash on delivery and a PSID, the government's payment slip number. It also says facilitators are paid on commission and that you can rate them after the visit.
What Dastak charges, and what it does not publish
The only fee table on the portal is for driving licences. It lists a courier fee of Rs 480 on top of the licence fee. A regular car licence, for example, is Rs 150 for the test and Rs 1,350 after you pass, so Rs 1,830 with delivery.
| Licence on Dastak | Test fee | Fee after test | Courier | Total without test fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | Rs 50 | Rs 450 | Rs 480 | Rs 930 |
| Car or jeep | Rs 150 | Rs 1,350 | Rs 480 | Rs 1,830 |
| LTV | Rs 150 | Rs 1,850 | Rs 480 | Rs 2,330 |
The portal says these fees are for one year, and a regular licence can be made for up to 5 years. Our Punjab driving licence fee guide has every category.
We did not find a published service charge for doorstep visits on the pages we read. The app shows the amount before you confirm, so check it there. If a person at your door asks for cash beyond what the app shows, do not pay it and call 1202.
Which papers to keep ready for common Dastak services
The portal lists required documents inside each service. For most citizen services you will need your original CNIC and copies. For family certificates, keep the B-Form or the family registration certificate. For domicile, keep proof of residence in the district.
If you need an e-stamp paper for an agreement, our e-stamp paper guide explains the challan. For a lost or wrong domicile, see the duplicate and correction guide.
