Undated stamps?

I’ve noticed that some of my stamps are not being dated. Is this a problem for purposes of compostella? Thanks. I tried to search this topic but did not find it.

Hi. It looks to me as if there is no problem. The sequence of stamps will tell their own date story, and now that you have noticed, you will be alert to check on receiving each new stamp. Buen camino!
 
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.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

My experience was that this happened occasionally, and dated those without dates myself to keep track of when I had been where. After Sarria, it was not uncommon for a bar to have a stamp in a public place, when you would have to date it yourself. It wasn't an issue when I arrived at the Pilgrim Office.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I've had several undated so far, I just write the date in. Today, I had to stamp my own credential, so I just dated it.

I mean, whose to know who wrote the date anyway?

It's not a problem to enter it yourself ✍️

On the Camino Frances it’s certainly not an issue as you would be hard-pressed to find any commercial property without a sello.

On less well frequented trips where opportunities are fewer I have been known to ‘manage’ the dates back or forward a day - if you turn up at an albergue where you stay overnight, for example, then the sello could be validly dated on day of arrival or departure …
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
