Amarnath Yatra Registration & Health Certificate

How Amarnath Yatra registration and the Compulsory Health Certificate work, who is eligible, what documents to carry and common mistakes to avoid.

By OmarUpdated 8 Oct 20263 min read
Quick answer

Every Amarnath pilgrim must register with the shrine board for a specific date and route, and must carry a Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) from a doctor or hospital authorised by the board. Registration opens before the yatra through the official online portal and authorised bank branches; age limits apply. Always use the current year's SASB notice.

Step by step

1. Get the Compulsory Health Certificate from an authorised doctor/hospital in your state, issued within the validity window the board sets. 2. Register online on the official SASB portal or at an authorised bank branch, choosing your date and route. 3. Collect your yatra permit/RFID card as instructed by the board. 4. Carry original ID, the CHC and your permit on the yatra.

Common mistakes

A CHC from a non-authorised doctor, a date that doesn't match your travel plan, or registering through unofficial agents. We only plan travel around the official registration — we never sell permits.

Official bookings and our role

We are a private trip planner, not a shrine board. Registration, permits, helicopter tickets and darshan slots are only through the official shrine board channels; we help you plan around them.

FAQ

No — registration is done by pilgrims through official SASB channels. We guide you on the steps and plan travel around your registered date.
