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.

Where can I get one before I leave the U.S.?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Where can I get one before I leave the U.S.?
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.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
