Thank you!Porto Cathedral · 4.6â(28722) · Cathedral

Actually, I'd call that a major note!As a minor note, nobody registers for the Camino; they just go ahead and do it.

Perhaps it would be helpful @MonaN to know that while there is no registration required to walk the Camino, they can pre-register for their Compostela at this link.

Thank you! Can we get the pilgrim passport at the Cathedral too? And would you know if there are specific hours to get credentials!As a minor note, nobody registers for the Camino; they just go ahead and do it. But as noted above, the cathedral in Oporto provides pilgrim credentials.

Sorry for going way off track here and for being pedantic, and I'm not intending to single you out, but this seems as good a place to any to put this note about the slightly confusing name of Portugal's second-largest city.The Cathedral in Oporto
Hi @MonaN, yes you can buy your credential(s) at the cathedral. You buy them inside where you also pay for entry to the Cathedral (well worth the couple of Euros extra). The views from the top are stunning and the tile work is in itself worth the entry fee.Thank you! Can we get the pilgrim passport at the Cathedral too?

You have to buy your credentials? My apologies but I didn't realize churches charged for this.Hi @MonaN, yes you can buy your credential(s) at the cathedral.

Ps. You don’t have to go in
They have to pay to have them printed. The cost of the credential is minimal.You have to buy your credentials? My apologies but I didn't realize churches charged for this.
@MonaN the only things that come free on the Caminos are the sun, rain, and scenery, the friendships and the lasting memories. And the occasional fuente along the way.You have to buy your credentials? My apologies but I didn't realize churches charged for this.
The Compostela is free (although there is a charge for a separate distance certificate).@MonaN the only things that come free on the Caminos are the sun, rain, and scenery, the friendships and the lasting memories. And the occasional fuente along the way.
As an aside you don’t need to pay to get into the Cathederals as a general rule, typically it’s only the larger ones with museums attached.
All the best for your first Camino.

I'm pretty sure that you can do it more than three days in advance.Complete the the info and you’ll get a QR Code to show security at the front door of the pilgrims Office. (Can’t do it more than 3 days in advance
Thank you!Hi @JoJoPee there are three ways to do it.
1. Inside some credentials there is a QR Code. Scan that, it will take you to the Pilgrims Office website. Complete the the info and you’ll get a QR Code to show security at the front door of the pilgrims Office. (Can’t do it more than 3 days in advance). You’ll use it inside the pilgrims office to get your Compostela.
2. Log in to the pilgrims Office website and follow the same steps in 1..
3. On the day you want to collect your Compostela. Walk up to the Pilgrims Office, scan the QR Codes on one of the signs. Follow the steps in 1.
Once you have your QR Code the security guard lets you in. A lady gives you another QR Code, that’s just a queue number. Line up until your turn.
The QR on your phone is what you scan (or the Pilgrims Office Volunteers). From this your data you input is used to print your Compostela.
You’ll also be asked if you want a mileage Compostela, think it costs €3.
You’ll then be directed where to pay.
PS if you say you were doing your Camino for religious reasons, you get a slightly different Compostela.
Don’t forget, don’t register more than 3 days in advance (the system won’t store your info for longer). So I’ve been told.
Hope this helps.
Buen Camino
