The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa set up the DLIMS KPK to handle the issuing and control of driver's licenses in the province. Through the DLIMS system, people can usually apply for a driver's license, renew their current licenses, and do other related things online. It is meant to speed up the process, cut down on paperwork that needs to be filled out by hand, and make the driving license control system work better overall.

There are many places in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where you can update your driver's license. However, the process of obtaining a new driving license is only conducted at the central office in Peshawar. On additional to that, this helps them keep fake IDs under control. The driving license office in Peshawar provides four different types of services.
