Primitivo Apr '24
I will hope to arrive in Santiago on Friday 26th of April I have a narrow window to get the primitivo completed and will expect to arrive by 3pm and fly home that evening.my question is if I don't get to the Pilgrim office in time is it possible to get the certificate in the future if I return ?
Thanks in advance
 
A guide to speaking Spanish on the Camino - enrich your pilgrim experience.
The process is much faster now than in the past, especially if you pre-register on this site:

But to answer your question - yes, provided you have two stamps per day for the last 100km in your credential, you can go back and pick up your Compostela later.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Yes, bring your credencial with all the stamps needed.
If you are now considering coming back to get your Compostella at a later date, why not slow down and enjoy what’s left of your Camino and pick it up again where you left off when you return?
