Registration is managed through the الحج Committee under DUMK (Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan). Pilgrims apply through regional DUMK offices. Requirements include valid passport, medical examination, vaccination certificates, الحج training course completion, and full payment.

Kazakhstan has approximately 70% Muslim population, primarily ethnic Kazakhs following the Hanafi school. الحج preparation courses are mandatory. Kazakh and Russian are the primary languages — Arabic language basics are مستحب. Kazakhstan's continental climate means الحجاج should prepare for extreme الحرارة differences. The country has invested in modernizing its الحج organization.
