In partnership with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), the ministry has also launched the Tasreeh Platform—a unified digital system for issuing Hajj permits. This platform facilitates the issuance of licenses and permits that authorize both domestic and international pilgrims to enter Makkah and the holy sites. It integrates with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah through the Nusuk platform.
The platform also enables workers and volunteers involved in Hajj activities, as well as the vehicles transporting them, to enter Makkah and the holy sites. Permits can be viewed through the national application Tawakkalna.
