Registrations for the lottery for the Hajj 1447H/2026, open since October 8, will continue until Thursday, November 6, 2025, the Ministry of the Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport reminded in a public statement. Citizens wishing to perform the pilgrimage to the Holy Sites of Islam are invited to finalize their registration before this deadline.
“The Ministry of the Interior, Local Authorities, and Territorial Planning informs all citizens wishing to participate in the lottery to perform the rites of the Hajj for the 1447H/2026 season that the registration process will end on Thursday, November 6, 2025,” the statement specifies.
The ministry states that candidates meeting the required conditions can register online via the official website, accessible 24/7, for holders of a biometric passport. Citizens without this document may visit their local Communal Popular Assemblies (CPAs) to fill out the form made available at dedicated offices during working days and hours.
According to a previous statement, the registration requirements are as follows: “to be of Algerian nationality, to be at least 19 years old on the registration day, and not to have performed the pilgrimage in the last seven years, counting from 2019, except for a mahram accompanying a woman who has not performed the Hajj during the past seven years.”
It is also mandatory for women under 45 years old to be accompanied by a mahram. Women over 45 may register with their mahram or alone.
The form provided to the candidate must be completed according to the following cases: for individual registration, any citizen can register alone to participate in the lottery. For double registration, the mahram and the woman wishing to perform the Hajj may register together and receive a unified receipt and form. For triple registration, the mahram may register up to two women with him and receive a unified receipt and form.
In cases of double and triple registration, the concerned parties must register at the mahram’s municipality of residence and through one of the two registration methods mentioned in the statement. In case of double registration both on the ministry’s website and at the municipality, the online registration will be automatically canceled, and only the municipal registration will be retained.
Citizens wishing to register at the municipality who do not have biometric passports must commit to obtaining this document if they are successful in the lottery within a maximum of 30 days from the date of the draw, under penalty of removal from the winners’ list.
The statement also urges candidates to mention the number of their previous participations, up to a limit of ten registrations, including the current year. Finally, the ministry warns against any false declarations or falsification of administrative documents, practices punishable by law.
