The Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah (PHU) of the Ministry of Religion has extended the registration process for the selection of Hajj Organizers (PPIH) until January 20, 2023.

Director of Hajj Development at the Directorate General of PHU at the Ministry of Religion, Arsyad Hidayat, said this selection was intended for Saudi Arabia's group officers and Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH).

"Registration for the group officers and the Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH)," Arsyad told Antara, Tuesday, January 17.

Arsyad said registration was done fully online to make it easier and more transparent. Participants can register through the Ministry of Religion's Super Apps Heritage on the Hajj Officer Registration menu.

For kloster officers, he said, the Ministry of Religion opened a selection for two formations, namely the head of the group and the supervisor of the Hajj batch. Especially for the guide of the pilgrimage, it is required that you have a pilgrimage and have a Manasik Guidance Certificate.

Previously, the Directorate General of PHU also required that prospective officers, both for the formation of PPIH Kloter and Saudi Arabia, must be able to operate Microsoft Office and the PPIH reporting application based on Android or iOS.

"In 2023, there will be no more technology stuttering officers, because all Hajj service will be digitally reported," said Arsyad.

According to him, the selection of Saudi Arabian group officers and PPIH is open to the public on the condition that there must be a recommendation from Islamic organizations, educational institutions, or Islamic boarding schools.

"Meanwhile, civil servants must attach a letter of assignment from the ministry/institution," he said.

In addition, the Ministry of Religion will also prepare special hajj officers to accompany members of the congregation who are elderly (elderly).

"We have to prepare officers who have special abilities to assist and serve the elderly," said PHU Director General Hilman Latief.
