How to Register on Nusuk for Hajj 2025: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

Assalamu Alaikum! Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to register for Hajj 2025 using the Nusuk Hajj platform. This guide is presented by Newal Fajr, your trusted source for navigating the Nusuk system and illuminating your spiritual journey.

For the 2025 Hajj season, all pilgrims from 122 eligible countries, including the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia, must register on Nusuk Hajj, the official platform managed by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

Key Points to Know Before Registering

If you created an account in 2024, you can use the same account for 2025 by resetting your password if necessary.
Returning users can skip several steps, so it’s recommended to retrieve your old account.
The Nusuk Hajj website is separate from the Nusuk app used for Umrah and Rawdah appointments.
Registration is best completed on a computer, as the website does not have a mobile app.

Now, let’s walk through the step-by-step registration process.

Step 1: Accessing the Nusuk Hajj Website

Go to hajj.nusuk.sa.
Click on "Start Registration."
Select your country of residence (e.g., United States for American pilgrims).
Check the acknowledgment box and enter your email address.
Complete the security verification and proceed.

Step 2: Email Verification

You will receive a 6-digit OTP (One-Time Password) in your email.
Enter the code on Nusuk to verify your email.
This OTP verification will be required every time you log in.

Step 3: Creating Your Account

Choose a strong password that meets Nusuk’s security requirements.
Once your account is created, log in again using your email and password.
Retrieve the latest OTP sent to your email to complete login.

Step 4: Uploading Required Documents

This step is crucial, as incorrect uploads can delay your application. Follow these guidelines carefully:
