rucksack labels/passport

[susiem]

Hi
I have arranged for rucksack to be transported form SJPdP to Orisson, then from there to Roncesvalles. Are special labels required for this?
Also, do albergues require passport at check-in?
Many thanks.

I think you should have received some labels when you booked your bag transfer, or an email. I've used CaminoFacil and download and print them. According to the Correos website they send an email with them. Public albergues will require a credential. Any lodging will require your passport.

Yes, you will need your passport. Check with the shipping company about your bag identification.

I would ask Express Bourricot about a label. I use them every year and have never been given one. They seem to know what they're doing. At the least, I'd put your name and phone number or email address on your bag.

As far as passport, if you're talking about your international passport, yes you will need it and no, a copy won't do.

If you're talking about a Credential, most albergues will not allow you to sleep there without one. You can get it in SJPP at the Pilgrim Office if you don't have one.

Thank you, that's good to know, and I will put name and contact details on rucksack.

I had a robust holiday suitcase tag firmly attached to the carry handle on my rucksack. It survived 6 weeks including at least 20 days of transport. Services I used were those where the albergue had tie-on labels/envelopes available.

I lost my US passport in Madrid before I started the Frances. I made it the whole way just using a photo copy on my phone at all the alberques!

Thanks all,
I'm just trying to organise what goes where and what needs to go in cross body bag for ease of access. I will attach secure tag but also carry some labels with me.

Examples of labels/envelopes from May 2022 provided in Albergues for daily bag transport to your next stop. You use a fresh envelope every day. You phone the transport company the day before (after albergue check-in) to book transport for the next day. Note: telephone numbers change as different teams transport in different sections so use the envelope provided by the albergue. €5 note in the envelope (may be more this year).

Thank you. I know what to do now! My intention is to carry my rucksack and (hopefully) only need it transported from SJPdP/Orisson/Roncesvalles. I know credential must be shown at accommodation but was unsure whether official passport was also required. Thanks for all replies.
