Car verification in Lahore: check a vehicle before you buy
Confirm a Lahore-registered car is genuine before you pay. The free MTMIS Punjab check takes two minutes — but it won’t reveal a hidden loan, a theft case or tampered papers. Here’s the free online check, plus the deeper verification and doorstep inspection that actually protect your money.

How to verify a Lahore car online — free
Lahore vehicles are on the Punjab Excise system (MTMIS Punjab), free to check by anyone.
Open MTMIS Punjab
Go to the official Punjab Excise MTMIS portal — it covers Lahore and all of Punjab.
Enter the registration number
Type the number in the format shown (e.g. ABC-123 or ABC-20-123) and solve the CAPTCHA.
Read the record
You’ll see registration details, ownership and token-tax status — free, in seconds.
Online portal
Use the official MTMIS Punjab portal and enter the registration number.
By SMS
Send the registration number in an SMS to 8785 for the basic registration and ownership details.
What the online check shows — and what it misses
The portal confirms the registration. It won’t catch the things that actually cost buyers money.
| Check | Online? |
|---|---|
| Registration number & status | Yes — online |
| Make, model & year on record | Yes — online |
| Registered owner & token-tax status | Yes — online |
| Open loan / lease / hypothecation | Not reliably shown online |
| Theft / blacklist / FIR case | Not shown online |
| Engine & chassis match the file & car | Needs the physical file + car |
| Tampered or fake documents | Needs document verification |
What CarOK adds in Lahore
We confirm what the portal can’t — and we come to the car, anywhere in Lahore.
Clean ownership & transfer
We confirm the ownership chain and that the file is complete and transferable.
No loan, lease or lien
We check the car isn’t under a bank charge that can block transfer or get it seized.
No theft / blacklist case
We confirm it isn’t reported stolen or flagged before you pay.
Engine & chassis match
We verify engine and chassis numbers match the file and the actual car.
Verify the documents. Then inspect the car.
Clean papers don’t mean a clean car. CarOK does both in Lahore: we verify the documents and ownership, then inspect the actual vehicle across 70+ points at your doorstep. Buying an import? Start with our free auction sheet verification.
Car verification in Lahore — your questions
How do I verify a car in Lahore online?
Open the official MTMIS Punjab portal (it covers Lahore), enter the registration number in the format shown, solve the CAPTCHA and search. You’ll see registration details, ownership and token-tax status for free. You can also send the registration number by SMS to 8785 to get the basic details.
How can I check a Lahore car’s registration by SMS?
Send the vehicle’s registration number in an SMS to 8785. You’ll receive a reply with the basic registration and ownership details held by the Punjab Excise Department.
Is car verification in Lahore free?
Yes. Checking a vehicle on the official MTMIS Punjab portal is free, and the SMS service to 8785 costs only standard message charges.
What does online verification NOT tell me?
The portal confirms the registration record, but it doesn’t reliably show an open bank loan or lease, a theft or blacklist case, or whether the documents are tampered and the engine and chassis match the actual car. Those need physical document verification and an inspection — which CarOK does at your doorstep across Lahore.
Does CarOK verify and inspect cars across Lahore?
Yes. Lahore is CarOK’s home market. We verify the documents and ownership and inspect the actual car across 70+ points at your doorstep — DHA, Bahria Town, Gulberg, Johar Town, Model Town, Cantt and beyond — so the papers are clean and the car matches them before you pay.
I’m buying an imported car in Lahore — what should I check?
Verify the Japanese auction sheet first (free with CarOK), then the import and registration documents, then inspect the car. The sheet confirms the history; verification and inspection confirm the documents and condition today.
