The hours posted on their website is also for other business such as christenings or weddings so sometimes you have to wait a little bit. The office for this on the inside of the church on left side, towards the front.Here is the version you can obtain at the Iglesia de Santiago y San Juan Bautista. They will fill in the first page and stamp it. Be sure to take your passport; I didn’t and had to promise would fill in my passport number as soon as I returned to my hotel.
Not this particular credential because they insist on filling out your name and other details after sighting both you and your ID, then stamping it.Can pilgrim passports for the Camino de Madrid be obtained ahead of time?
What’s the process?
I bought mine from Ivar and took it to the church. They stamped it without question.Not this particular credential because they insist on filling out your name and other details after sighting both you and your ID, then stamping it.
They will also ask if you intend to start walking from Madrid. If you tell them that you are using transport (other than a bike or a horse) to get out of Madrid then they will decline to to give you a credential.
Thanks for this information. I will probably be walking the Madrid Route next year and this is a good reminder as I would like to get their credential.You do not need a specific credencial for the Camino de Madrid. One from American Pilgrims on the Camino or ordered by post from Ivar's online store would be ok. If you would prefer to pick up one in person then the Iglesia de Santiago in Madrid issues their own version. Details of opening times on their website.

That's interesting. I'm pretty sure when I was at the church to get my credencial stamped (and myself blessed) there were several other pilgrims picking up credencials that they were going to use on other routes. Maybe because of the number of pilgrims they weren't asked, or maybe they weren't entirely honest in their answers.Not this particular credential because they insist on filling out your name and other details after sighting both you and your ID, then stamping it.

On my only visit to the church I picked up a credencial for use on a walk on the Sanabres beginning at A Gudiña. No one seemed to have any objection or to find that strange.I'm pretty sure when I was at the church to get my credencial stamped (and myself blessed) there were several other pilgrims picking up credencials that they were going to use on other routes.
It is possible that the person on duty that day/time may make a difference.That's interesting.
