New Pilgrim Credential / Passport

[jefferyonthecamino]

There are some minor (and good) changes in the new Pilgrim Credential.

1. The credential now includes a QR code to scan, which will take you to the Registration webpage. Very handy, as you are now a click/scan away.

2. It's eliminated 'Passport Number' and 'Address' (thank God), I have had several incidents at the office in SJPdP when refusing to put this very personal information in my credential.

3. Wheelchair has been included, although this may not be new, can't remember.

When I was in Santiago in April, the Pilgrim's Office told me that they were prepared to cope with over 3000 Compostela requests per day. So, it appears everyone is organised and ready for another busy year.

They are fairly easy to obtain at most of the starting places (Eg. SJPdP, Roncesvalles, Sarria...), at the pilgrim offices, tourist offices, public albergues... and a dozen other places. However, it is nice to get one before you travel. I believe Casa Ivar (this forum) has/had them, and/or others, such as the APOC. Buen Camino.

Be aware, that one that you order from American Pilgrims or Ivar's forum store may not be the updated version.
