The Punjab Home Department has launched a digital system for managing arms licenses, allowing citizens to apply for and modify their licenses online, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and user convenience.
Previously, modifying an arms license required a physical visit to the Home Department. With the new digital service, license holders can adjust the category, number of bullets, and other details from home.
Developed in collaboration with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), this online system simplifies tasks like license transfer, renewal, and requesting duplicate licenses. It effectively removes the need for in-person visits, significantly reducing the time and effort for applicants.
Key Features of the Punjab Digital Arms License System
- Online Applications: Citizens can apply for new licenses or request changes to existing ones online.
- Digital Document Submission: Users can upload necessary documents and pay legal fees digitally.
- License Transfer and Renewal: Licenses can be transferred or renewed through the online portal.
- Duplicate License Issuance: The system enables applicants to obtain duplicate licenses digitally.
The Punjab Home Department has instructed deputy commissioners to implement this new online module for arms license modifications and to inform citizens about the benefits and usage of the digital system. This initiative is part of a broader effort to digitize government services, making them more accessible to the public.
