E-Smart Card (Vehicle Registration Card) in Punjab
Punjab has moved many vehicle records from the old paper book toward a chip-based smart card with a QR code for roadside checks.
What the smart card is for
The card stores key registration identity for the vehicle. Traffic police can use the QR / digital record to confirm details quickly. After a new registration or ownership transfer, printing and delivery can take time.

How to track smart-card status
- Keep your application / chassis references from Excise.
- Use the official Excise / MTMIS tracking options published for smart-card status.
- Watch for statuses such as printing, dispatched, or ready for collection (wording varies by portal update).
- Do not pay agents who promise "instant cards" outside official channels.
Tips while waiting for a card
- Keep payment receipts and application numbers safe.
- Verify the vehicle online while the physical card is printing.
- If status stalls for too long, visit the relevant Excise office with original documents — or check district Excise offices.
FAQ
Is the paper book still valid?
Punjab has shifted many records to the e-smart card. Carry whatever Excise currently recognises for your vehicle, and use official tracking if a new card was ordered after transfer or registration.
Where do I track delivery?
Start with the official Pakistan Post / Excise tracking link and the VRC / e-smart card portal.
