The Ministry of Religious Affairs has officially extended the deadline for Hajj 2026 registration by two days. Pilgrims can now submit their applications until July 11, either through the Ministry’s online portal or by visiting one of the 15 designated banks across Pakistan.
The decision was taken in response to multiple requests from prospective pilgrims who needed more time to complete their registration. The ministry stated that this short extension would help accommodate more applicants who wish to perform Hajj 2026.
So far, more than 313,000 people have already registered successfully. Ministry officials confirmed that no registration fee is being charged during this initial stage. Registration is a mandatory requirement, and only those who apply within the extended timeline will be eligible for Hajj under either the government or private schemes.
Applicants can choose to complete the registration process from the comfort of their homes using the online system. Alternatively, they may visit any of the designated banks to register manually. The Ministry has made the process simple and accessible to ensure that everyone interested in Hajj 2026 can easily apply.
Further information about travel packages, expenses, and logistical arrangements will be announced after the official Hajj 2026 policy is released. This will include details on accommodation, transportation, and services to be provided during the pilgrimage.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has advised all interested individuals not to wait until the last moment. Officials emphasized the importance of applying on time to avoid any complications.
With this extension, more people now have the opportunity to fulfill their religious obligation next year. The Ministry is committed to facilitating a smooth and transparent registration process for all intending pilgrims.
