The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that the number of "Nusuk" card scans from Dhu al-Qi'dah 1 until today has exceeded 3.5 million across various verification checkpoints. This system plays a key role in facilitating pilgrim movement and enhancing the management efficiency of services provided to them, within a digital framework designed to organize pilgrim traffic and streamline access to their service locations during the Hajj season of 1447 AH. Available in both physical and digital formats, the card provides seamless access to data and services via electronic channels. This approach expands the implementation of digital solutions, accelerates response times, and elevates service delivery efficiency throughout the various stages of the pilgrim's journey. On the ground, the "Nusuk" card actively regulates the movement of pilgrims between locations and services by enabling field teams to verify pilgrim data with high precision. This supports transit fluidity, minimizes missing pilgrim cases, structures access to camps and transportation modes, and fosters seamless integration among all relevant authorities.
