Credential

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino de Santiago (2019)
I have purchased a credential but it is blank - that is, it is numbered. Will I be able to get it numbered at Bayonne Cathedral which is where I plan to start? Thanks
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

What do you mean by numbered?
I have always received blank credentials that I order from Ivar. I fill in my own name, address, etc

Thanks - that’s fine then - just my friend has a different style with a number and there is a section on mine below Name which looks like it was for a number... anyway - thanks for the reassurance

One more question - what happens if you run out of space for sellos - we are taking it slowly!

You get another "credential" and carry on till the end of the road. Many Albergues, Tourist Offices and Cathedrals can provide a second credencial or you can just use a sheet of blank paper & tape or staple it in.

Many thanks
 
Attached is a foldable page I designed in Microsoft Word. It is saved as a .pdf page.

I intended that the page be trimmed at the bottom to fit a credencial.

It works best if you print it double-sided, trim it to fit vertically, then ‘Z’ fold it into your credencial.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave.

Hope it works. It does for me. I use a paper trimmer to tailor the length to suit the credencial I am using.

Also, I carry a spare blank ‘Z’ page with me. I can always find some clear tape to fix the page to my credencial as needed.

More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Also, if you think you'll need more pages, just buy a couple of extra credencials and glue them front to back (you may have to cut off one page or so to make it match up). That way you just have one big credencial that can be unfolded as a unit. Worked fine for my last two month+ long Caminos.
 
Wow . Where did you start?

No more green ones. In case it’s you who is stamping on the picture my many thanks to all those people seen or unseen who make this Camino possible. The ones that clear the paths, the repaint the signes, the farmer that allow you pass their land, the police officers, ambulance drivers emergency personnel who watch over us, each villager that tolerates out poles tack tack tack and all these wonderful people in the Albergues who take care of us. THANK YOU
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Thank You for your thank you. Yes, it's me stamping at SJPP. Only a drop on the Camino ocean. Lots of people don't realize what's going on at the "back-office" of the Camino, the volunteers who make it all possible in all the places you mentioned. The Pilgrim's Office in SJPP runs only on volunteers 365 days a year. Almost 200 volunteers from all over the world make it possible.
