Riyadh: The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has opened registration for Hajj 1447 AH (2026) for pilgrims from Muslim-minority countries, offering a fully digital and direct registration process through the official Nusuk Hajj platform.
For the first time, eligible Muslims from minority nations can complete every step online without intermediaries. The Ministry said the move aims to ensure a transparent and secure system under official supervision. Registration began on 15 Rabi’ Al-Thani 1447 AH, corresponding to October 7, 2025.
The platform, accessible at hajj.nusuk.sa, enables users to create an account, verify details through an OTP, upload necessary documents such as passports and proof of residence, and add up to seven family members under a single account. Package selection and booking details will be released later.
The Ministry also invited individuals wishing to serve as licensed Hajj guides to apply directly through the “Become a Guide” option on the platform. Their applications will undergo official review before approval.
Authorities warned pilgrims against using unauthorised agents, links, or websites claiming to offer registration or payment services. Only the official Nusuk platform and licensed service providers will process valid applications.
Through this initiative, Saudi Arabia continues its digital transformation in Hajj management, expanding accessibility for Muslims in countries where pilgrimage coordination has traditionally faced logistical barriers.
