The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued a notice outlining the mandatory information and documents prospective pilgrims must provide during pre-registration for Hajj.
The notice, issued on Wednesday, said pre-registration is the first step for Bangladeshi pilgrims intending to perform Hajj.
According to the ministry, applicants must provide National Identity (NID) card, Bangladeshi passport or a birth certificate, a passport-size photograph, a mobile phone number and a bank account number at the time of pre-registration.
It said members of the same family may use a single bank account for the purpose.
The ministry also made it mandatory for pilgrims travelling under both government and private management to have a bank account to ensure secure and orderly financial transactions related to Hajj.
It further requested prospective pilgrims who have completed pre-registration earlier without submitting bank account details to provide the information during the final registration process.
Pre-registration for the 2027 Hajj began on July 1.
In line with the roadmap announced by the Saudi government, the Hajj registration process must be completed by Sept 26, the notice added.
