The Hajj Commission has officially announced the closure of the online identification phase for candidates for the pilgrimage to Mecca, this Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. This stage marks a major milestone in the organization of the 2026 Hajj, whose quota of 5,000 pilgrims has been fully reached and distributed according to the representativeness statistics provided by ANSTAT, covering all districts, regions, and the Ivorian diaspora.

In its statement, the Commission invites candidates who have not yet accessed their identification form to do so starting Monday, October 13, 2025. Using the passport number provided during registration, they can visit the official website www.monhadj.ci, under the “Espace pèlerin” section, to download and print their identification form.

This step ensures that all validated candidates have the necessary documents before proceeding to the next stages. The Commission reminds candidates that medical consultations prior to the pilgrimage are scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, 2025, while payment of the Hajj cost at the Public Treasury, along with fingerprint registration, will take place on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

Through this announcement, the institution led by Imam Bachir Ouattara reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a rigorous and transparent organization of the 2026 Hajj, in line with the directives of the Ivorian government and the requirements of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The Hajj Commission also urged future pilgrims to strictly follow the established timeline to avoid any delays or inconveniences during the process. According to its officials, such discipline will help ensure peace, safety, and smooth organization of the 2026 pilgrimage for all Ivorian worshippers.
