Registration for domestic pilgrims for 1447 AH has begun via Nusuk, and the deadline for payment of fees has been announced
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced, in a proactive step aimed at organizing and facilitating the Hajj pilgrimage, the commencement of the registration phase for citizens and residents within the Kingdom wishing to perform Hajj for the 1447 AH season (corresponding to 2026 CE). This step is being implemented through the “Nusk” application and the Ministry’s official website, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to the complete digital transformation of the Hajj and Umrah services system.
Registration details and fee payment deadline
The ministry clarified that the current phase is dedicated to registering personal data and verifying eligibility, a necessary preliminary step before the actual booking process and package selection can begin. The ministry also revealed the timeline for subsequent phases, stating that available packages will be accessible and fees can be paid starting from the 15th of Ramadan, 1447 AH . During this period, registered users will be able to compare different service programs and choose the one that best suits their needs and budgets, then complete the payment process electronically through approved and reliable channels.
Digital transformation and the Kingdom's Vision 2030
This announcement comes within the framework of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to achieve the goals of "Saudi Vision 2030," specifically through the "Guests of God Service Program." The "Nusk" platform is one of the most important outcomes of this transformation, aiming to automate procedures, eliminate fraudulent campaigns, and ensure high transparency in prices and services. This technological system has contributed in recent years to reducing waiting times and facilitating the pilgrim's journey from the moment of intending to perform Hajj until their departure from the holy sites.
The importance of early registration and season preparation
Early registration is of paramount importance for several organizational and logistical reasons. From an organizational standpoint, early registration helps the Ministry and relevant authorities accurately estimate the number of pilgrims and manage crowd density to ensure their safety and the smooth flow of movement in the holy sites. It also allows citizens and residents ample time to plan their financial and social arrangements for performing the pilgrimage without time pressure.
Tips for applicants
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah emphasized the necessity of relying exclusively on official channels (the Nusuk app and the Ministry's website) and ignoring any suspicious links or misleading advertisements claiming to offer Hajj services outside the established framework. It confirmed that all financial and contractual transactions will be conducted electronically and securely to protect the rights of both parties, urging everyone to register their information to ensure priority access to packages during the holy month of Ramadan 1447 AH.
