Karachi, Pakistan’s biggest city and business hub, offers many facilities but also faces serious issues like vehicle fraud and number plate tampering.
To tackle this growing concern, the Sindh government has launched new smart registration cards and modern number plates with security features for cars and motorcycles.
These modern number plates aim to protect citizens from fraud during the buying and selling of vehicles and to assist law enforcement.
Here is a step-by-step guide to apply online for new vehicle number plate in Sindh.
The citizens can easily begin the process from home by visiting the official website of the Sindh Excise Department at https://excise.gos.pk.

- Enter Vehicle Details: Fill in your mobile number and car registration number.
- Choose Number Plate: Select the “number plate” option in the next line.
