Absher Platform Simplifies Mobile Updates And Hajj Permits

The Absher platform enhances user experience with streamlined services for mobile number changes and entry permits to Mecca.

The Absher platform has streamlined the process of updating mobile numbers and issuing entry permits to Mecca, catering to the needs of its users during the Hajj season. These services are crucial for ensuring smooth communication and access for beneficiaries, especially those from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and residents.

As part of its commitment to user-friendliness, the Absher platform has identified clear steps for updating registered mobile numbers. Beneficiaries can easily change their mobile numbers through the Absher application before logging in. The service can be completed by following a few straightforward steps: first, users must select 'Digital Identity Management' from the list of options available on the platform. Next, they choose 'Change Mobile Number' for their digital identity.

Absher has also outlined specific conditions that must be met to successfully implement this service. For instance, the new phone number must be active and match the beneficiary's information provided during the service request. Additionally, the new number should be registered under the beneficiary's national ID or that of a first-degree relative. Users must also ensure that their smartphones support instant verification through both the front and rear cameras, which is necessary for completing the update process.

To finalize the service, the registered mobile number must be accessible, and the new mobile number being added must receive a verification code. This step is crucial as it confirms the user’s identity and ensures the security of the process.

In addition to mobile number updates, the Absher platform has also presented steps for issuing entry permits to Mecca during the Hajj season. This service is particularly significant for citizens of the GCC, holders of premium residency, investors, and the spouses of citizens, allowing them to gain access to the holy city during one of the most important times of the year for Muslims.

According to the Absher platform, the process for obtaining an entry permit to Mecca is straightforward. First, users need to log into the Absher platform. After logging in, they should select the 'Services' option, followed by 'Passports,' and then navigate to 'Permit Entry to Mecca.' Finally, users can create a request for the entry permit to Mecca.

This service aims to facilitate the pilgrimage experience for those eligible, ensuring that they can participate in the Hajj without unnecessary hurdles. The easy-to-follow steps are designed to reduce confusion and enhance the overall experience for pilgrims.

Both services offered by the Absher platform reflect a broader trend of digital transformation in public services, aiming to make processes more efficient and user-friendly. As technology continues to evolve, platforms like Absher are at the forefront, providing essential services that cater to the needs of a diverse population.

In conclusion, the Absher platform’s initiatives to simplify mobile number updates and streamline the process for issuing entry permits to Mecca are significant steps towards enhancing user experience and accessibility. As these services become increasingly vital during the Hajj season, they demonstrate the importance of digital solutions in facilitating important religious and social functions.
