What Is the Dastak App?
The Dastak App Punjab brings 70+ government services to citizens’ doorsteps in 2026. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched the program in June 2024, and the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) built the platform. The pilot began in Lahore and then expanded across the province. Today it operates in 40 districts of Punjab. Read our Maryam Ki Dastak Program 2026: doorstep government services guide.
You can use Dastak in two ways: self-service online, or doorstep delivery by trained facilitators who visit your home. Start at the official Dastak portal dastak.punjab.gov.pk.
You can download the “Dastak Citizen App” from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. For example, the latest update came out on 1 October 2026. Through the app you can even get your driving licence in an hour through the Dastak mobile app.
70+ Government Services Available in 2026
The official portal lists 76 services (PITB says 70+). They include birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates, domicile, driving licences, e-stamping, vehicle registration and transfer, token tax, property tax, police verification, FIR copy, tenant registration and character certificate. Moreover, the program integrated driving licence issuance (DLIMS) in June 2026, and the learner licence fee is Rs 500 per category.
These services are live now across all 40 districts — Maryam Ki Dastak reaches 40 districts.
Payments are easy: pay via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, IBFT, cash on delivery (COD) or PSID.
How to Apply for Doorstep Services
Request a service through the Dastak Citizen App, the official portal, or helpline 1202. A trained facilitator then visits your doorstep to collect documents and deliver the service.
The system registers and tracks your request. Then you receive updates until the team completes the service, with no need to visit a government office or stand in queues.
