According to the organisers of the conference, entry to the Jalsa Salana arena will be strictly on the basis of Computerized Registration ID Cards. “Participants are requested to obtain their Registration Cards from the Registration Offices. UK members in possession of their AIMS Cards will gain entry into the Jalsa Salana arena while members who do not have this card have been advised to contact their Local President immediately.
Replacement of an AIMS Card will be issued after verification by the Local President and will incur a £5.00 charge. Any UK member not in possession of an AIMS Card will be issued a Jalsa Salana Registration Card. This will be issued to those members who have completed their UK Tajneed Forms. This form is available from your Local Jama’at President.
“Members from overseas countries (e.g. Germany, Norway or Holland) that have Computerised Tajneed systems may use their cards to obtain entry into the Jalsa Salana arena. However, participants are advised to ensure that prior to departure from their home country (Ameer), their specific Computerised Card is acceptable for entry.
The oganisers added that members from overseas countries where a computerised card system is not, in practice, are requested to obtain their Jalsa Salana registration cards from Registration Offices at Baitul Futuh or Hadeeqatul Mahdi, immediately upon arrival in UK, adding that International Passport and a verified invitation or permission letter by the respective Ameer or President are required for registration.
