Thank you

In Fisterre I got my certificate from the police station that was right on the camino as you entered the town. But that was 11 years ago. I received my certificate in Muxia a few years ago at the albergue I was staying at. I asked were the office was that issued them and they said they had them!
This is where I stayed.

It was a wonderful albergue with fantastic owners. Well stocked kitchen to cook, clean and warm. It was pretty chilly at night in December. I personally like Muxia more. Mellower and I like the town a little better. They are both wonderful places and really good to walk to. It is a beautiful walk whichever way you go. To end going to the lighthouse or the church evoke such different but equally wonderful feelings.

@joyvj - are you asking about a credential to be stamped along the way, or about the Fisterrana and Muxiana certificates that you can earn by walking the routes?

If the former, you can get a Camino credential from the Pilgrims Office in Santiago. Any authorized Camino de Santiago credential is fine.

If the latter then this site should be helpful.

I think OP is asking about the credencial where you collect the stamps and you are answering about the completion certificate.

When I went to Finisterre I just continued collecting stamps in the credencial I had used on the way to Santiago. The people handing out the certificate were happy with that.

Yes you are right, my mistake. I also used the same credencial I had used on the way to Santiago.

As already mentioned you can use the same credential as before, if you wish, however the free Finisterre/Muxia credential from the Santiago tourist office is rather nice!
The credential includes images of some of the buildings/sites you can collect the sello from! It also has a coloured map and a pictures of each of the certificates you will eventually collect!

You get the credential at the Pilgrims Office on Santiago for free. Use the one credential for the visit to both destinations and Certificates available from each Pilgrim Office in Muxia and Finistere

Free? I'm pretty sure that I had to pay for one.
