Registration for 2027 Hajj officers opens: requirements and schedule
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Registration for the selection of Hajj Organising Officers (PPIH) for the 1448 H/2027 M pilgrimage season has opened. Prospective applicants need to pay attention to the schedule, requirements and selection stages before registering.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kemenhaj) has opened PPIH selection for a number of formations, including PPIH Kloter (flight group) and PPIH Saudi Arabia. For the PPIH health formation, registration opened on 20 August 2026 and is intended for health workers who will provide services to Hajj pilgrims.
Meanwhile, registration for PPIH Kloter and PPIH Saudi Arabia is scheduled to begin on 25 August 2026 at 13.00 WIB. This information is important for prospective applicants because the registration schedule for general and health formations is not the same.
For the PPIH Kloter and PPIH Saudi Arabia selection, registration is scheduled to begin on 25 August 2026. Prospective applicants need to follow official announcements from Kemenhaj to find out the registration deadline and selection stages according to the chosen formation.
Meanwhile, for PPIH Health, the selection series already has a more detailed schedule. Registration takes place on 20-26 August 2026, followed by document verification, Computer Assisted Test (CAT), Medical Check Up (MCU), and the announcement of participants who will attend education and training.
The PPIH Health selection stages include:

For general PPIH, the formation includes officers placed in flight groups as well as officers serving in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, in the health selection, available formations include PPIH Health Kloter, PPIH Health Saudi Arabia and airport health workers.
The PPIH Health Kloter formation is intended for doctors or specialist doctors as well as nurses. The need for Saudi Arabia health officers and airport health workers is adjusted to the service needs of pilgrims.
General requirements for 2027 Hajj officers
Requirements may differ according to the chosen formation. However, prospective officers in previous selections were required to be Indonesian citizens, Muslim, physically and mentally healthy, have integrity and a good track record, and have a commitment to providing services to pilgrims.
The ability to operate digital devices and applications is also part of the officer requirements. For certain formations, Arabic and/or English language skills are an added value or a preferred requirement.
For PPIH Health, prospective applicants must meet the requirements according to the health profession field they are applying for. The selection is aimed at obtaining officers who have competence, health, integrity and readiness to work in serving pilgrims in the field.
Prospective applicants should read the official requirement documents according to the formation because provisions regarding age, profession, work experience, administrative documents and special requirements may differ.
Registration is carried out online through the official system provided by Kemenhaj. Prospective applicants need to prepare the required documents before filling in data and uploading files.
In general, the registration stages include:
Opening the official Hajj officer registration portal.
Creating or using an account according to the provisions.
Selecting a formation that matches qualifications.
Filling in personal data and requested information.
Uploading required documents.
Ensuring all data and documents are correct.
Sending or submitting the registration before the deadline.
Monitoring verification results and subsequent selection stages.
In the 2027 PPIH Health selection, participants who pass document verification will take the CAT and then undergo health checks according to the schedule.
Hajj officer selection is free of charge
Kemenhaj has emphasised that the 2027 PPIH Health selection process is free of charge and free from gratification. Participants are also asked to register independently and ensure that all submitted documents are correct and accountable.
Therefore, prospective applicants need to be careful if they encounter parties offering guaranteed placement or requesting money in the name of the Hajj officer recruitment process.
The opportunity to become a 2027 Hajj officer is open to members of the public who meet the qualifications according to the formation. However, prospective applicants need to pay close attention to official announcements from Kemenhaj because the schedule and requirements for general PPIH differ from PPIH health.
For the latest information, prospective applicants can monitor the official portal of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of the Republic of Indonesia, which contains announcements and documents related to the Hajj officer selection.
