Punjab Dastak All Services Guide 2026: Doorstep Certificates, Taxes and Vehicle Services

The Punjab Dastak All Services Guide 2026 brings every major doorstep service of the Maryam Ki Dastak programme onto one page, so citizens no longer need to search service by service. According to the latest official announcement, Dastak lets citizens request government services at home through trained facilitators, instead of visiting offices, standing in queues or dealing with agents. The programme is run by the Government of Punjab with implementation support from the Punjab Information Technology Board, and it now covers certificates, tax payments, vehicle work, land services and much more.

How Dastak Doorstep Service Works

• Book online: Book through the official Dastak portal or the Dastak Citizen App on your mobile phone.
• Choose a time: Pick a day and time that suits your family, rather than taking a full day off work.
• Facilitator visit: A government-approved facilitator visits your home to collect documents and forms.
• Track progress: Your application is processed through the relevant department, and delivery follows department rules.
• Payment options: Payments can be made through IBFT, JazzCash, Easypaisa, cash on delivery or PSID, as applicable.
• Doorstep benefit: Elderly citizens and women benefit most, because they avoid long queues at government offices.
• Service change note: Departments can add or change services, so recheck the official catalogue if your service was missing before.

Certificates You Can Get at Home

• Birth certificate: Register a birth and get the computerised certificate without visiting the Union Council.
• Death certificate: Register a death and obtain the certificate for pension, bank and legal matters.
• Marriage certificate: Apply for a marriage certificate through the local government service route.
• Divorce certificate: Apply for a divorce certificate where the Union Council record exists.
• Domicile certificate: Apply for a new domicile certificate, with verification by the district administration.
• B-Form link: A birth certificate later helps NADRA issue the child B-Form, so check every detail on it.

Vehicle and Tax Services on Dastak

• New vehicle registration: Register a newly purchased vehicle through the Dastak facilitator route.
• Ownership transfer: Transfer vehicle ownership after buying or selling a vehicle in Punjab.
• Token tax payment: Pay your annual motor vehicle token tax without visiting the excise office.
• Property tax payment: Pay property tax for your house or shop through the doorstep service.
• Property tax NOC: Apply for a property tax no-objection certificate where the department offers it.

Land, Revenue and Legal Services

• Fard issuance: Apply for a Fard, the official land record extract, through the Board of Revenue route.
• E-stamping: Get e-stamping done for agreements and legal documents without an agent.
• Property registration help: Get help with property-related applications handled by the relevant department.
• Professional tax: Pay professional tax where the Excise and Taxation service is listed for your case.
• Check the catalogue: Check the official service catalogue before booking, because not every service is doorstep in every district.
• Record safety: Keep copies of every land document submitted, because revenue records are used for future transfers.

Police, Health and Social Welfare Services

• Character certificate: Apply for a police character certificate, often needed for jobs and visas abroad.
• Police verification: Request police verification services listed under the Police Department category.
• Driving licence help: Get help with driving licence services handled through the traffic police route.
• Disability certificate: Book an appointment for a disability certificate through the Social Welfare route.
• Food business licence: Apply for food business licensing where that service is listed on the portal.
• Pension help: Pension verification help is among the wider services listed for citizens through Dastak.

Booking Tips, Fees and Common Mistakes

• Right app: Install the Dastak Citizen App, not the separate Dastak Facilitator App meant for staff.
• Confirm the fee: Confirm the official fee for your service before the visit, and keep the payment receipt.
• Documents ready: Keep original CNICs and supporting documents ready before the facilitator arrives.
• No agents: Never pay an agent who promises faster Dastak service, because the official route is the safe route.
• District check: Check district availability first, because doorstep coverage differs by district and department.
• Receipt rule: Always keep the payment receipt and booking reference until the service is fully delivered.

Conclusion

Punjab Dastak is most useful when citizens treat it as one complete system, not as a separate trick for each certificate. Start on the official portal, check whether your service and district are covered, confirm the fee, and keep your documents ready for the facilitator visit. Used this way, Dastak can save a family a full day at a government office, and it keeps the process free from agents and middlemen, and it gives every family the same fair chance at a finished certificate or tax receipt.
