KP introduces Personalised Registration Mark System
PESHAWAR, Dec 10 (APP):The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has officially launched a new Personalized Registration Mark (PRM) System, under which a vehicle number will now belong to the owner instead of the vehicle.
Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Wednesday formally inaugurated the system, stating that under the new policy, vehicle owners will be able to retain their registration number even after selling their vehicle.
The number will remain the personal property of the seller, while the buyer will be required to apply for a new registration number.
Addressing the launch ceremony, the Chief Minister said that the digitized registration system will help eliminate fake number plates and vehicle cloning, while making the registration process faster, transparent and corruption-free. He emphasized that the government’s primary goal is to provide relief to the public.
Officials briefed the meeting that under the PRM system, vehicle numbers will be linked to a citizen’s CNIC or mobile number, similar to personal identification data.
A citizen may also reserve a registration number for up to three years without attaching it to any vehicle. Moreover, no additional fee will be charged for retaining the number after selling a vehicle.
The Chief Minister also announced a martyrs’ compensation package for Excise Department officers involved in anti-narcotics operations, similar to the police’s martyrs’ package.
He praised the department’s performance in drug-control operations and expressed confidence that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will soon become drug-free.
