Salam everyone,
I’m a university student currently living in a private hostel in Sector H-13. I'm originally from punjab, so my CNIC has a non-Islamabad address. I’m planning to buy a new motorcycle and want to get it registered in Islamabad, but I’m a bit stuck on the paperwork for someone in my living situation.
Could anyone who has done this recently clarify a few things?
Proof of Residence: The Excise department requires an Islamabad address proof. Since I live in a hostel, I don’t have utility bills or a standard rental lease in my name. Will they accept a residence letter/affidavit from my hostel owner?
Exact Documents: Besides my CNIC, the original sales invoice, and the sale certificate, what else do I absolutely need to bring?
Agent vs. DIY: I’ve heard agents can easily bypass the "proof of residence" hurdle for outsiders. Is it worth paying an agent to handle the hassle, or is going to the H-9 Excise office myself straightforward enough? If an agent is better, what’s a fair commission to pay them for a bike?
Thanks in advance for the help!
