The Cote d'Ivoire Hadj Commissariat held a press conference on September 23, 2026, at its Abidjan headquarters, to unveil the 2027 Hajj registration calendar and highlight new measures. The event aimed to provide transparency and accurate information to prospective pilgrims, amidst circulating false information on social media. The 2027 Hajj follows the previous edition, with the state quota set at 7,000 pilgrims and 3,000 for private operators, now grouped under Firdaus-Hajj.
The registration process for Hajj 2027 involves several key steps. Online identification on the official platform www.mohajj.ci began on October 1, 2026, requiring a digital passport photo, a valid passport copy, and proof of residence. Medical consultations, mandatory for obtaining a travel certificate, started on October 8, 2026. Payment of registration fees and biometric data collection will commence on October 12, 2026, conditional on prior medical validation.
The Hadj Commissariat emphasized that registration is not complete until all administrative and medical steps are finalized. This year's edition introduces two significant changes. The region of residence selected during online identification will determine where pilgrims must complete subsequent steps. Additionally, candidates must designate a replacement in case of last-minute cancellation, providing their name, surname, passport number, and expiration date.
The Commissariat warned against fake forms and misinformation, urging pilgrims to rely on official channels: www.mohajj.ci, www.hajj.ci.org, and the Commissariat's social media pages. They stressed the importance of verifying information before sharing or acting on it. Pilgrims are advised to prepare in advance by checking their passport validity, preparing digital documents, and following official information channels.
The cost of Hajj for the state quota remains at 3,250,000 FCFA, with a national quota of 10,000 pilgrims. The Commissariat expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic, Alassane Ouattara, the Minister of Interior and Security, and other stakeholders for their support. They also acknowledged the role of media in disseminating reliable information to candidates.
The Hadj Commissariat urged prospective pilgrims to be cautious and vigilant, emphasizing that a successful Hajj begins with careful planning and preparation. They reassured pilgrims that the necessary arrangements are in place, and the 2027 Hajj registration process has commenced.
The Commissariat's efforts aim to ensure a smooth and well-organized Hajj experience for Cote d'Ivoire's pilgrims. By providing clear guidelines and timelines, they seek to minimize confusion and ensure that all necessary preparations are made. The 2027 Hajj promises to be a well-coordinated event, with the Commissariat working closely with stakeholders to guarantee a successful pilgrimage.
