Hi, I'm arriving in Santiago soon and was walking the Camino in memory of my parents who recently passed. Does anyone know if the office will allow more than one person to be added as "vicarie pro?"

I can’t help you with the specific question, but can confirm that the ‘vicarie pro …’ annotation is simply added by hand, not printed.

In practical terms you are dedicating your Compostela to another so you might find a simple solution, especially if you know someone with excellent handwriting.

If the Pilgrim's Office doesn't, roll by the Church of St Francis ( walk to the end of the street, turn right, walk up to the next Church on the left). They offer a certificate that you may inscribe yourself if you show them your completed credencial. Consider a donation.

I found it quite difficult to arrange and had trouble hunting someone who knew how to deal with it, as the online registration is how they manage things these days. You still need to do the online registration, it doesn't give you an option for Vicarie Pro, and yes unfortunately it does just get added by hand.
Just be prepared to take a little longer.
Or you can do as recommended and get someone to add it in using calligraphy to match the printed name..

I wrote it down for my volunteer at the Pilgrim's Office on a scrap piece of paper; he dutifully inscribed it below my name. It helps to have decent printing skills.
