Saudi Arabia allows Hajj pilgrims to travel using digital ID instead of passports

Date:

Pilgrims can obtain the digital ID through the Absher platform.

Hajj pilgrims can now travel within Saudi Arabia using a digital visitor ID instead of carrying a passport, according to the General Directorate of Passports.

The directorate said pilgrims can obtain the digital ID through the Absher platform, enabling safer and more convenient movement across the Kingdom during their stay.

The digital visitor ID is recognised as an official document in Saudi Arabia and can be used for domestic travel, eliminating the need for pilgrims to carry a physical passport, the General Directorate of Passports added.

Authorities said the measure is designed to ease movement for pilgrims and improve convenience, particularly during the busy Hajj season in Saudi Arabia.
