The Maryam Ke Dastak Program, also commonly searched as Maryam Ki Dastak, is an active public service initiative launched by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. Managed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), the program brings essential government services directly to citizens’ doorsteps through trained Dastak Facilitators. Citizens can conveniently obtain services such as birth certificates, domicile certificates, driving licences, and vehicle registration without making repeated visits to government offices. These doorstep services are available for a nominal fee of Rs. 99.
Maryam Ke Dastak is an official doorstep public service delivery program in Punjab. Operated by PITB, it allows citizens to request facilitator visits at home. The facilitator collects required physical documents, performs biometric checks, deposits fees, and delivers the approved certificates to the doorstep, eliminating visits to government offices.
