I am starting from Burgos for this pilgrimage, but I arrive Burgos in the evening. I think the cathedral closes at 8:30pm. Where else can I buy my pilgrimage passport after 7pm? Thank you
You can buy one at the pilgrim albergue Casa del Cuba,
C. Fernán González, 28,
which is open until 22:30. You need not stay there to obtain one. See more here

Good luck and Buen camino!
They sell the passport even in the evening hours too?
Thanks
Also at the municipal behind the cathedral. And if there are other places, the people in the tourist info office would know. It's on the south side of the cathedral plaza.
The municipal albergue IS called "Casa del Cubo (y de los Lerma)" as @mspath suggested.Also at the municipal behind the cathedral. And if there are other places, the people in the tourist info office would know. It's on the south side of the cathedral plaza.

You can't make a reservation in municipal, parrochial or Xunta (that's in Galicia) albergues but you can do so in private albergues or other accommodations.Great...Thanks. I was just looking at this albergue's information too.
Another question, I can make reservation on those municipal albergue right? As for May, this albergue might be full by the time I arrive at 7pm ish.
Even if I can't stay there, I can always buy a credential book from this albergue, right?
Maybe you mean the parochial one on Lain Calvo? Santiago y Santa Catalina?Interesting. I thought I saw another name on a map when I was living nearby.
I just checked Google Maps. It's not actually directly behind the cathedral. It's on that street, though, San Fernán, and they show the name as Associación de Amigos del Camino. The sign by the door says "Albergue de Peregrinos."Maybe you mean the parochial one on Lain Calvo? Santiago y Santa Catalina?
Hahahaha, you can never really believe what hospitaleros on duty there said to you. I remember from 2016 I wanted to watch a European Football Championship match (forgot the contestants now) and when asked if I came back at 11pm because of the football game they assured me it would be OK. But it wasn't. The door was locked and I was out on the street and all my belongings up there on the third floor. I was calling the number to which nobody responded and a pair of pilgrims (young lovers from different countries - yes that happen a lot, hihihi) heard it. They climbed down from first floor terrace to a adjoining parking lot with entrance to a street and were asking people if they knew who was calling. Two local ladies remembered me calling from the bar across the street and then they somehow managed to opened the door and we climbed back to the albergue. Quite an adventure for a 46 y/o helped by 20+ y/o. We had a picnic afterwards on the terrace. Such nice memoriesI just checked Google Maps. It's not actually directly behind the cathedral.

"Get out time" is posted as eight AM. Staff turned out the lights at 07:57 and someone said, "You think all these pilgrims are going to locate their shoes faster in the dark?"
