Islamabad Traffic Police Khidmat Markaz licensing services will be unavailable overnight after the department ordered a temporary halt at every Police Khidmat Markaz in the federal capital. The stop begins at 11:00 pm on Monday, 26 October 2026, and lasts until 9:00 am on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, while a scheduled system upgrade is carried out.
Why the counters are closing
An Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) spokesperson said the short suspension is required so staff can complete the system upgradation process. During those hours, the department said, people will not be able to use traffic licensing facilities at any Police Khidmat Markaz in Islamabad.
The announcement covers driving licence-related work at the centres, not a permanent change to how licences are issued. Officials framed the overnight window as maintenance time rather than a policy shift.
What visitors should do
Citizens who planned to visit an Islamabad Traffic Police Khidmat Markaz for licence work have been advised to keep the announced timings in mind and adjust their schedules. Anyone who would otherwise arrive late on Monday night or early on Tuesday morning will need to wait until after 9:00 am on 27 October, when the department expects services to resume.
ITP has not published, in this notice, any change to fees, online portals, or regular daytime hours beyond this maintenance block. The practical message is simple: licence counters at the capital’s Police Khidmat Markaz network will be offline for those ten hours.
When services should return
The department expects traffic licensing to become available again once the upgrade work finishes at 9:00 am on Tuesday. Until then, applicants should treat all Islamabad centres offering these services as closed for licence processing.
