Last updated: October 2026. Official process: dlims.punjab.gov.pk.

What this page solves: You want practical tips that stop the most common Dastak delays: blurry CNIC uploads, wrong licence category, expired PSID slips, unpaid challans that block renewal, and double payments. Use this page as a short checklist, then open the matching tool for the next action without hopping across the whole site.

Before you apply

• Keep CNIC front/back sharp, full edges visible, no glare
• Use a recent photo that matches portal background rules
• Pick motorcycle, car/jeep, LTV, or combination carefully before fee generation
• Clear unpaid challans that can block renewal or dispatch
• Keep one active mobile number for OTP

During payment

• Pay only the official PSID amount shown on Dastak
• Do not create a second PSID for the same step unless the portal requires it
• Save bank SMS and receipt until status updates
• If money left your account but status is still pending, open the PSID helper before paying again
