Saudi Arabia has expanded its digital services for pilgrims by enabling users to view and access Hajj permits through the Tawakkalna application. The move is designed to make the permit process easier while improving the management and regulation of access to Makkah and the holy sites during the Hajj season.
The service is not limited to pilgrims alone. According to reports, eligible beneficiaries also include workers participating in the 2026 Hajj season, Makkah residents, private-sector employees and domestic workers. These groups can use the application to review relevant Hajj permits and access the information they need through a single digital platform.
The development is part of Saudi Arabia’s wider effort to expand digital services for Hajj and Umrah. By moving important permit information to a national application, authorities can make it easier for eligible individuals to check their status and follow entry requirements without relying entirely on traditional paperwork.

Hajj attracts millions of Muslims from around the world, making the organization of movement and access to the holy sites a major logistical challenge. Digital tools such as Tawakkalna can help authorities manage large crowds more efficiently while giving users quicker access to important information.
For pilgrims, having Hajj permit details available through an official mobile application can make the journey more convenient. It also supports Saudi Arabia’s broader digital transformation efforts, which aim to improve services for visitors and residents alike.
The new feature demonstrates how technology is increasingly becoming part of the Hajj experience, from permits and identity verification to transportation and crowd management.
As the 2026 Hajj season approaches, pilgrims and eligible workers are expected to benefit from easier access to permit information and more streamlined digital services.
