credencial/sellos/compostela

Hi, I’m walking the coastal route from Porto to Santiago in mid September. My travelling companion arrives late in the afternoon and we plan to start walking first thing the next day. Can I buy a passport for her without her being present? If so, where?

Obviously a stamp can be obtained at a refugio, but where else? A list can be obtained of refugio locations, is their a list of locations where stamps can also be obtained? Thanks.

I hope I can put this here, please advise and remove if I can’t. A friend of a friend just finished the VDLP end of march and he realized he lost his whole passport (the one with the Camino stamps) :( I’m wondering if there is a place to see them and we can print out? He mostly did the main...

I belive to get the compostela one needs to have walked the last 100km and got two stamps per day. When was this rule introduced and was it controversial? Also, if someone has walked from St Jean or Puy or Paris, would they be refused a compostela if they only had one stamp on one of the last days?

Been binging on Rob's Camino YouTube page in prep for my own trek and he oftentimes says something along the lines of "For those who want to get their passport stamped..." which led me to wonder: Do some folks not get it stamped? I assumed I would but I was curious if some people don't care for...

Was wondering if anyone knew where a person could get a hand drawn stamp on the route between Astorga and Santiago? My daughter who is hiking with me and is an artist heard about the folks who do them and would like to try and get one. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Dave and Gracie

Hello! i'm on the camino now and am hearing conflicting stories about if / where halfway point credentials are issued on the official camino de santiago (route frances). are this still possible? if so, where how? Also, I'm continuing on to Finisterre and I just read there's another halfway...

Hi, is it practical to get my 'credencial' in Oviedo? I thought it would be somewhat symbolic to get it at the Cathedral before starting my Primitivo Camino. Any specifics/problems I should know of in waiting till I get there to get mine? Thanks

Hi all, i have 2 questions. I will be arriving around 18-19u next month in Bayonne. I see that the last train to SJPDP already is at 18.20u. is that right? If so, are there any options after the last train on how to get there? Because i will probably miss the train And i also see that the...

I finally got around to having my Compostela and certificates framed. Doing so was more time consuming, irritating and painful than walking. The first attempt by the framers had everything at odd angles (5cm from frame on one corner 2cm from frame in another), items incorrectly mounted, glops...

Anyone know where I can obtain a pilgrim credential in Burgos?

I was looking at the new credencial I just got at the Pilgrim's Office for my next Camino. Reading the information inside I came across this: I had understood that it was possible to get a Compostela if one rides an ebike, but maybe not? As a walker, I'm very happy to see this, even though...

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...

I fly to A Coruña this Wednesday to start walking from Ferrol on Thursday (yes I've packed all the waterproofs 🫣)... I was planning on using the same pilgrim passport that I used on the St James' Way - so continuing English Camino to Camino Ingles... Suddenly started thinking if that will be ok...

My husband ND I will walk the Camino in June 2025. Starting in Sarria. Since Sarria is the starting point to begin our required 100 kms, do we make sure to get the two stamps as soon as possible in Sarria? Our hotel for one, but the other from a cafe, bar, or church? I know going forward from...

Hi everyone! I'm planning to start on the Camino de Francés, then from Léon I will walk the Camino San Salvador, then the Camino Primitivo and maybe if I have time the Camino de Fisterra. My question is, do I need sperate pilgrim passports for the 4 Caminos?

We started in Viana do Castelo and we are doing the Litoral and the Espírito Variante. I sprained my ankle in Oia. I took taxis until Pontevedra while my husband continued walking. I started walking again in Pontevedra and doing the Spiritual now. My question is … I can get to 102 km is the boat...
