Car verification in Lahore: check a vehicle before you buy

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.

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.

Yes. Checking a vehicle on the official MTMIS Punjab portal is free, and the SMS service to 8785 costs only standard message charges.

The portal confirms the registration record, but it doesn’t reliably show an open bank loan or lease, 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.

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.

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.

Enter the registration (number plate) on MTMIS Punjab, or SMS it to 8785, and the record returns the registered owner’s name with make, model and token-tax status. Confirm that name matches the seller’s CNIC before you pay — a mismatch usually means an incomplete or open transfer.

The MTMIS portal does not reliably show a bank loan, lease or hypothecation. To be sure the car is free to transfer and can’t be repossessed, you need a document verification that checks the file and lien status — CarOK does this across Lahore before any money changes hands.

Typically the original registration book, a signed transfer/sale deed, copies of both CNICs, the latest token-tax receipt, and — for imports — the import papers. Punjab transfers also involve biometric verification. CarOK confirms the file is complete and transferable so you don’t inherit an unfinished transfer.

Yes — Lahore is our home market. We come to the car in DHA, Bahria Town, Gulberg, Johar Town, Model Town, Cantt and beyond, verify the documents, and inspect the vehicle across 70+ points at your doorstep.
