Registration for domestic pilgrims for 1447 AH begins via Nusuk: conditions and dates
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced the opening of preliminary registration for citizens and residents within the Kingdom wishing to perform Hajj for the 1447 AH (2026 CE) season. The Ministry clarified that this initial step is conducted exclusively through the unified digital platform “Nusk,” accessible via its official website or mobile application, as part of early preparations aimed at organizing the upcoming season with high efficiency and facilitating the journey of the pilgrims.
General context and digital transformation in Hajj services
This announcement comes as part of a comprehensive strategy adopted by the Kingdom to develop the Hajj and Umrah system, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Historically, Hajj registration procedures required paperwork and multiple visits to Hajj company offices. Today, however, the “Nusk” platform has revolutionized this process. Launched as a unified and comprehensive portal, Nusk offers a complete suite of services for pilgrims from around the world, from trip planning and visa issuance to package bookings and logistics. This digital transformation aims to enhance transparency, prevent fraudulent campaigns, and provide a seamless and secure user experience, ensuring that pilgrims receive the high-quality services they have contracted for.
Registration process details and payment deadlines
The Ministry confirmed that the current phase is limited to registering and updating personal data, a crucial step to ensure the accuracy of information and facilitate subsequent procedures. The phase of selecting packages, finalizing bookings, and paying fees is scheduled to begin on the 15th of Ramadan, 1447 AH. On that date, registered pilgrims will be able to review the various Hajj packages offered by licensed companies, compare them based on the services and benefits provided, and then complete the payment process electronically through approved payment channels. The Ministry urged those wishing to perform Hajj to register their data early to avoid any delays that might affect their chances of choosing suitable packages.
The importance and expected impact of early announcement
The announcement of the start of early registration is of great importance on several levels. Locally , this measure gives citizens and residents ample time to plan their Hajj pilgrimage financially and domestically, and it also enhances the efficiency of managing and organizing the expected number of pilgrims. Regionally and internationally , this meticulous organization and reliance on technology reflects the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to providing the best possible services to the guests of God and reinforces its position as a leading model in managing large crowds and religious gatherings. Furthermore, the success of this integrated digital system contributes to improving the global image of the Hajj pilgrimage and encourages more Muslims worldwide to use official channels to perform their rituals with ease and peace of mind.
