- The
Mahram should write his complete information on the application forms

He should also provide copies of marriage or birth certificates; if
these documents were issued outside the USA, he should then provide
copies translated and notarized by a certified translation office.
- All
ladies are required to travel for Hajj with a Mahram. Proof of kinship
must be submitted with the application form. Any lady over the age of

letter should be notarized.

with confirmed reservations.

polio. Children over fifteen (15) years of age should present the same

- Each
pilgrim should submit two certified checks or cashier checks payable
to 'Unified Agents Office' in Jeddah for pilgrimage services. These
checks should include the name and the passport number of the pilgrim.
Each applicant must pay the following fees:
(a) US $158.40 (one hundred fifty-eight dollars & forty cents) for
services rendered by the local Tawaf agencies and for housing at the
Holy sites.
(b) US $116.00 (one hundred sixteen dollars only) for air-conditioned
transportation services.
Pilgrims have the option to submit one check combining both fees: in
this case, the amount would be US$ 274.40 (two hundred seventy-four
dollars & forty cents).
Children between the age of seven (7) and fifteen (15) should only pay
half of the above-mentioned amount.
Children under the age of seven (7) do not need to pay.
- Non-US
citizens should submit a copy of their green card or documented proof
of legal residence status in the USA. Passport authorities in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reserve the right to return (at his or her own
expense) any pilgrim who has provided wrong or false information about
their residence in the USA.
- No
applicant under the legal age of eighteen (18) will be granted a Hajj
visa if not accompanied by his family.
