The Ministry of Religious Affairs has taken steps to simplify the passport renewal process for Hajj 2027 pilgrims.
At the ministry’s request, the passport office has allowed Hajj 2027 pilgrims to renew their passports before the standard renewal period.
Passport offices across Pakistan and overseas have been directed to accept and process early passport renewal applications from Hajj pilgrims.
Under passport rules 3(c), pilgrims planning to perform Hajj 2027 will be eligible for early passport renewal.
The ministry said a valid Pakistani passport by November 16, 2027, is mandatory for Hajj 2027.
Pilgrims have been advised to ensure their passports remain valid and are ready for the next stage before the deadline.
A ministry spokesperson said Hajj 2027 applications will not be accepted without a valid Pakistani passport.
