First in 1994, last in 2024
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.
 
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.

Where can I get one before I leave the U.S.?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
