Hajj 2026 Early Registration Opens on Nusuk
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has opened the early online registration phase for domestic pilgrims — Saudi citizens and residents inside the Kingdom — for the upcoming Hajj season 1447 AH (2026). Registration is available now exclusively through the Nusuk platform.
Applicants can register via the Nusuk mobile app, the website at nusuk.sa, or the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's e-services. The process starts by creating a personal account using a national ID or iqama number and mobile number, completing personal data, verifying eligibility, then selecting the "Local Hajj" section.
Package selection and payment for domestic pilgrims are scheduled to begin from 15 Ramadan 1447 AH (early March 2026). Package prices appear dynamically on Nusuk based on category, services, and proximity to the holy sites once booking opens. Payment is completed electronically through SADAD and other supported methods to obtain the digital Hajj permit, which pilgrims keep in Nusuk for travel and entry into the holy sites. Hajj 2026 is expected to take place around 24–29 May 2026.
Expanded capacity for local pilgrims
The Ministry announced an expanded capacity allocation for domestic pilgrims this season, with more slots and packages available compared with previous years, though exact figures were not specified.
Eligibility covers Saudi citizens and expatriates holding valid residency inside the Kingdom. Health and age conditions apply, and an approved health clearance with required vaccinations must be completed before a permit is issued. Registering early gives residents a better chance to secure a package that fits their budget and needs before slots fill.
