Verify any Hajj or Umrah operator

Search the official AHUON register of NAHCON-licensed member operators in real time. If they are not on this list, do not pay unverified members.

Tip: many fraudsters use names very similar to licensed operators. Check the exact spelling on the company's letterhead before searching.

You can also search using the AHUON code printed on the operator's membership certificate.

Updated weekly

AHUON syncs with NAHCON's official licensee list and our membership database every week.

Independent of operators

Operators cannot edit their own listings. All changes are processed by Secretariat.

Public and free, forever

Verification will never sit behind a paywall.
