Saudi Arabia has officially opened Hajj 1447 AH (2026) registration through the Nusuk platform, marking the Direct Hajj Program for Muslim-minority countries. This initiative allows pilgrims to apply directly, while ensuring safety, transparency, and convenience.
The registration began on 15 Rabi’ Al Thani 1447 AH, which corresponds to October 7, 2025. Authorities stressed that Nusuk Hajj (hajj.nusuk.sa) is the only authorized channel for applying under the Direct Hajj Program. Therefore, pilgrims should avoid third-party agents or unauthorized websites.
The platform offers a complete digital experience. Pilgrims can create accounts, submit documents, and later choose packages and make secure payments once the booking phase opens. Currently, the focus is only on account registration.
To register, applicants must visit hajj.nusuk.sa, select their country of residence, and provide an email address. Then, they verify their account with a one-time password, create a password, and upload documents, including passports, personal photos, and proof of residence. Additionally, users can add up to seven family members under a single account.
Moreover, the platform allows those interested in guiding Hajj groups to apply. By selecting “Become a Guide,” applicants submit their forms for official approval. This system simplifies the process while keeping oversight and safety in place.
Officials also warned against unauthorized channels. Any third-party services claiming to handle registration or payments are not valid. Only licensed service providers approved through Nusuk Hajj may assist pilgrims.
The Direct Hajj Program helps protect pilgrims from fraud and reduces administrative difficulties. Furthermore, it gives applicants clear confirmation of registration and a safe way to book their pilgrimage packages.
By offering this online platform, Saudi Arabia ensures that Muslim-minority communities can participate in Hajj without facing obstacles. It also allows users to complete their registration comfortably from home, saving time and reducing stress.
Overall, the launch of Hajj 2026 registration through Nusuk highlights Saudi Arabia’s commitment to blending technology with religious service. The Direct Hajj Program provides a smooth, secure, and modern registration process, making the pilgrimage easier for Muslims worldwide.
