Buying a used vehicle may be an economical decision, but it may end up costing you an arm and a leg in unpaid taxes and fines if you aren’t careful. An easy way to make sure you don’t end up being defrauded or scammed while buying an old car or a motorcycle is to check its ownership details. Each province has its own system in place for vehicle verification in Pakistan. However, for your convenience, we are focusing solely on the process of vehicle verification in Punjab.
So, how do you check vehicle ownership in Punjab? Let’s find out.
MTMIS Punjab
The vehicle verification in Punjab is carried out by the Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department of the provincial government. To make the process of vehicle registration check in Punjab much more feasible for the residents, the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department developed a Motor Transport Information Management System, more commonly referred to as MTMIS.
MTMIS Punjab is a centralized database that provides all the important details of a vehicle, such as its owner’s information, latest payment details, vehicle details and vehicle application tracking. Anyone can access this data by entering the vehicle’s registration number into the system.
This has made vehicle verification in Punjab much easier. Now, anyone willing to buy a second-hand car or bike can easily check all the important details using the MTMIS Punjab vehicle verification system. To put it simply, if the previous owner of the vehicle has not paid all the taxes and cleared any fines, the MTMIS will alert the buyer of the pending payments, helping them avoid any legal issues in the future.

Here is the two-step process for online vehicle verification in Punjab.
Step 1: Visit the official MTMIS website of Punjab Excise and Taxation department

Once you hit ‘Search,’ the system will generate the following information about the vehicle:
