Pilgrim's Credential for 2016 - changes

[jefferyonthecamino]

If this news is correct, looks like the only valid Pilgrim's Credential for the Camino will be the one issued by the Cathedral in Santiago.

There is already a thread about this here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...st-2016-camino-passport-credential-rule.37469 with a lot of information. SY

As Ivar has pointed out in the other thread, there is no change in policy. It is a restatement of a change from several years ago when "everybody" was making his own credential. Only the cathedral and authorized versions can be used to obtain a compostela. All the various national confraternities are authorized to issue credentials.

Dónde obtener la Credencial Oficial del Peregrino
Desde Cofradías del Apóstol Santiago
Desde Asociaciones autorizadas en España
Desde Asociaciones autorizadas en otros países.

Wondering @falcon269 are these lists still valid meaning in accordance with the "new" ruling? And if so it would then appear that the local associations in Spain are still allowed to issue their own credentials. Or is it they have to issue the one provided by the Cathedral in Santiago. This point is still unclear to me.

The other thread has been locked until further clarification is available.

The associations on the third list by this link is not identical to this link (http://peregrinossantiago.es/eng/preparation/associations-worldwide/) from the same site, which appears to be more up to date.

Spanish language updates are usually more accurate than the English ones, but maybe not in this case!
