The Maryam Ki Dastak App is an official Punjab government service for citizens. It brings many government services into one place. You can fill in your online application on your phone or computer, or you can book a Dastak facilitator who will handle the work and deliver your documents to your door. The official site, dastak.punjab.gov.pk, describes it as a one-stop online platform. As of 12 October 2026, it is working. To use it, download the Dastak Citizen App, open the website, or call helpline 1202.
Quick Answer
What is Maryam Ki Dastak? Maryam Ki Dastak is a project of the Government of Punjab. Citizens can reach government services through a mobile app, a website, or a trained Dastak facilitator.
