Thanks, but I am not with a group this time!I think if you are with a group, you can collect her compostella for her. There used to be a thread about how the group thing works by Tom who volunteers. @Bradypus also volunteers at the pilgrim office (or has in the past) so you might try to pm?
Have found Tom's post. Thanks!Sorry I can't answer your question directly. But I can point you to other threads. Click on the tag now added under the title of this thread, or just click here: credencial/sellos/compostela.
I can't give you a step by step guide but I can give you the link where you fill out the application form which is the first step. The form is available as a translation into different languages including English. The translations are bad and they've done nothing to correct it.post the exact procedure, in a step by step guide, for how to apply online for one’s compostela on arrival in Santiago this year?
Not me! Never been a volunteer there. I think you might mean @t2andreo .@Bradypus also volunteers at the pilgrim office (or has in the past) so you might try to pm?
Well, you really can’t start until the day you arrive in Santiago — there is no “advanced reservation” process. You COULD fill out the form before you actually reach the Pilgrims Office, but you risk not being nearby when your number is up to get the compostela.needs to start the process as soon as it is possible to do so
Well, you really can’t start until the day you arrive in Santiago — there is no “advanced reservation” process. You COULD fill out the form before you actually reach the Pilgrims Office, but you risk not being nearby when your number is up to get the compostela.
The best advice is to show up in Santiago early enough to ensure you get a number, but what qualifies as “early enough” is completely dependent upon how many pilgrims are there on that day.
Very useful to get this kind of feedback!!!It will be busy at end of May, but it's really quite straightforward. As suggested, go to the website and register. You can do this anytime, right now if you wish. You can even do it for your friends with their permission. Here:
Once you register, you will receive an email and a text immediately. I did it just now for the hell of it to demonstrate, lookit:

Save the SMS or for simplicity, just write it on your credencial, this will speed things up for everybody. When you arrive at the office, show it to the guy on the door and he will admit you.

Once inside, you get a ticket for the queue. When it's your turn at the desk, you will be asked for the code and the staff member will be very happy that you have it ready, no fumbling around with phones for emails and QR codes and everything else. Keep it simple..
I will send you a PMHi, would somebody please be kind enough to post the exact procedure, in a step by step guide, for how to apply online for one’s compostela on arrival in Santiago this year?
There were some recent threads, but I can’t find them right now, I’m technologically challenged, and have been asked to help a friend who is even more technologically challenged than me (if that’s possible).
Although I told her she should stay two nights in order to have time to get her compostela (in case she can’t do it on her phone), she has booked a flight out the morning after we arrive (yeah, I know, but it’s done now). We will arrive early as we have only 5kms to walk the last day. (Do we need two stamps in those 5kms???)
She turns 70 the day before we arrive, and I’d really like her to get her compostela, as it seems very important to her.
Very many thanks!!
Thanks! Though I have just given it, for everyone, in the clearest, simplest possible terms..I will send you a PM
i will be volunteer at the Pilgrims office from next week Tuesday and will try to find the latest 2022 update.
According to other forum posts, if you don't want to enter your data in the online application form for your Compostela, you will be given a piece of paper and you can fill in your data with a pen, preferably your own pen. A volunteer or an employee will later take your completed paper form and enter your data online instead of you doing it yourself.queuing system where we arrived, took a ticket and returned at the allotted hour... is this still in existence? I'm walking with a group in May. We all have our credentials and we'd prefer to do it the old fashioned way and not use a phone? Will this work just as well?
The only thing you need to do right away is get your Pilgrim Passport. If you want to order it in advance, you can do it at the store on this website. Or - you can get one from your starting point. Pilgrims passports are available in Sarria - but I haven't gotten one there so I am not sure where.We will be there at the end of May, so my friend needs to start the process as soon as it is possible to do so. She has a flight early the next morning. I am only walking from Melide with my husband, so we won't be getting one, but my two friends are starting in Sarria. We will meet up with them in Melide, and then walking together.
There is nothing to stop you registering in advance, this has been explained already. Who has told you that you have to wait until you arrive in Santiago? The information you submit isn't activated until the staff member inputs the code. By leaving it until the last minute, or waiting til you get into the pilgrims office and expecting others to facilitate you, you are creating work for others, who are likely to be stressed enough.The getting the compostela - you register when you ARRIVE in Santiago - not in advance. If your friends are having trouble, there will be plenty of people at the Pilgrim's office willing to help. I am referring to staff/volunteers as well as other Pilgrims.

Wow, thanks for the unnecessarily hostile reply. BTW... I personally loved being able to help others in need when in line at the Pilgrim's office. It is the kind thing to do. Reminds me of the spirit of the Camino. Extra work? Really? I was just standing in line waiting, why NOT be helpful?There is nothing to stop you registering in advance, this has been explained already.

I've tried to help with this, even with pictures for simplicity, but I get thwarted every time.
I give up now.

He is definitely the man for all things Pilgrim Office in Santiago.Not me! Never been a volunteer there. I think you might mean @t2andreo .
Have I missed something, can I not just turn up at the pilgrim office without going on line. I tend to travel the camino without a smartphone.Have found Tom's post. Thanks!

Everyone wants to be helpful but some answers are not as helpful as they could be. The core question of the thread is about someone who will have less than one day in Santiago and is keen on getting a Compostela. It will be at the end of May 2022.why NOT be helpful?
I was referring to the workload of the staff who are all day, every day trying to help pilgrims, many of whom arrive tired and unprepared. In the current climate with covid restrictions, trying to courtously facilitate tired and sometimes cranky and frustrated pilgrims, to make themselves understood in foreign languages, through plexiglass screens, above the ambient din and with masks on, can and does take it's toll.Extra work? Really? I was just standing in line waiting, why NOT be helpful?
You must have missed post #21 aboveHave I missed something, can I not just turn up at the pilgrim office without going on line.
[With] No use of mobile phone: Go to pilgrims office, get paper form, fill in paper form manually, get ticket with waiting number, wait in line or in basement or other waiting area, check screens for numbers being served, get Compostela and hand in paper form.
Both actually. The day I went for my compostela in 2021, even though this new system was already up and running - it wasn't up and running the day I arrived. Not sure why, since I had already knew to expect to get a ticket with a QR code that would allow me to track the "lines" progress while I did other things. Anyway, I completed the online form as soon as I arrived in Santiago. Then I had to wait in a line for a ticket. I received my ticket, with no QR code. Then I had to wait for a compostelaI am surprised that you say that we weren't thrilled about waiting in a long line. This may be of relevance in the current context so can you tell us whether you were waiting in a long line for the Compostela (which can be avoided with the new system) or in a long line to get your ticket with your waiting line number and QR code?
Thank for taking the time to explain. So you went there and it was not a typical day because the system was not up and running on that day and you queued like in the days before the new system was introduced, correct?The day I went for my compostela in 2021, even though this new system was already up and running - it wasn't up and running the day I arrived
Yes, that is correct. I had arrived thinking I would get my ticket then check into my nearby albergue while I wait - and couldn't. And while I was there - they were making people who "pre-registered" re-register before giving them their ticket. But the registration system was working otherwise. The guy who was telling people to re-register made it sound like the system never works when you register in the days before arrival - but I could have mis-understood that piece. But, I left with the understanding that you need to register the same day you plan to get the compostela. Again - this information came from the employee or volunteer that was assigned to assist people in the line.Thank for taking the time to explain. So you went there and it was not a typical day because the system was not up and running on that day and you queued like in the days before the new system was introduced, correct?
There have been claims that it is possible to fill in an application form for a whole group but nobody has ever explained how this is done by way of an online application. I would not know how to do this.
@t2andreo - Can you weigh in on the process for a group?I'm walking with a group in May. We all have our credentials and we'd prefer to do it the old fashioned way and not use a phone? Will this work just as well?
Wow, thanks for the unnecessarily hostile reply.
But the person who was correcting me was outright rude. And to the guy with the rude response etc
When we got ours in 2019 we did the low tech version, we could have used the QR code option but didnt. We queued to get a number, then worked out how many an hour they were processing.According to other forum posts, if you don't want to enter your data in the online application form for your Compostela, you will be given a piece of paper and you can fill in your data with a pen, preferably your own pen. A volunteer or an employee will later take your completed paper form and enter your data online instead of you doing it yourself.
There is no "allotted hour". I wonder how you knew last time when to return if you made no use of mobile phones? Or did you have something to scan the QR code on the ticket with your waiting number after all? Because that's convenient. While filling in a form digitally may sound not so convenient even when it is dead simple to do and saves tedious work that others won't have to do later.
I'm not holding my breath but if someone has such a definite answer they ought to let us also know how long the online application is valid. 24 hours? 2 days?If anyone has a definitive answer as to whether the online application actually does expire at some point, please do share
Thank you. I am on the CF now and saw this feed and registered this AM.I can't give you a step by step guide but I can give you the link where you fill out the application form which is the first step. The form is available as a translation into different languages including English. The translations are bad and they've done nothing to correct it.
There have been claims that it is possible to fill in an application form for a whole group but nobody has ever explained how this is done by way of an online application. I would not know how to do this.
The application form is on the website of the Oficina del Peregrino http://oficinadelperegrino.com. Go to the tab Registro or Register. You see two options: Single and Groups in English, or Individual and Grupos in Spanish.
Single/Individual is what you want. Choose it and fill in your application form.
Groups/Grupos requires a Username and a password. I don't know how to get that.
PS: You either go directly to the Oficina website by typing or copy/pasting the link above which you can do on a mobile phone from anywhere or you scan, in an albergue or at the Oficina, a QR code that takes you to the website. When completed they email and/or text you an alphanumeric code which is confirmation that you have successfully submitted your application.

There is still some question about the length of time the code is valid for, so do keep an eye on things.. you can always register again and get a new code closer to Santiago if need be. And you are familiar with the process now!I have registered my details online now via the above link and I have a code and QR code so I'll carry this with me and I'll advise the rest of my group to do the same.
A group works similar to an individual, except that one person enters all the data for the group before arriving at Santiago. On the web site, there is an option for forming a group online. However, in practice, I recall most group folks having problems with this process. I cannot recall why.@t2andreo - Can you weigh in on the process for a group?
I am surprised to read repeatedly that one receives a QR code by text and email.I forgot to mention that when you submit individual data you receive a QR code in return by text and e-mail.
Oddly enough, when I was there in September 2021, and believe it or not, the counter staff doing the interviews did not have QR code readers attached to their workstations.
I think that it also cuts down on the use and waste of paper.According to reports, the digital registration system will allow the Pilgrims Office to better manage their daily work and their use of their human resources (employees and volunteers) because they can better anticipate the influx of pilgrims on a daily basis and plan accordingly.
OK, but more precisely, this is my question and it has been my question for a long time: Did you or anyone else ever receive a QR code in email or text or did everybody only receive an alphanumeric code, consisting of a combination of 8 digits and letters?I embrace this culture when I am fortunate to be there and work extra hard to not judge.
Thanks. I know that a QR code appears on the screen/website. One would have to make a screenshot to save it. I also know that not everybody knows how to do a screenshot on a smartphone.Late last year we saw both, but ignored the QR element as the only thing relevant was the alpha numerical code, there was no means to read the QR code.
Hence my question: Does the QR code even get mailed and texted. If not, the advice earlier in the thread ought to be corrected because it only confuses people who are unsure about the process and do not need irrelevant and superfluous information.
I know that you didn't ...I thought my advice in post 13 was very clear and direct. I made no mention of a QR code at all.
OK. I take it that you do not intend to say that no QR code is sent by email and text? I finally give up.The Alphanumeric code is more important than the QR code. Guard it!
Don't go!!!I finally give up.
Yeah, that’s why I asked, and I don’t even need to get the compostela.Blimey. I thought walking the Camino would be the hard bit but it looks like that's a metaphorical walk in the park compared to getting a Compostela!
You warmed the cockles of several hearts. You passed with flying colours. A+. 100/100. Ein Einser. OK, you used the word blimey, so it is: A*.How did I do?
That’s great. Glad it made sense to you.You warmed the cockles of several hearts. You passed with flying colours. A+. 100/100. Ein Einser. OK, you used the word blimey, so it is: A*.
The alphanumeric code is printed at the top of the QR code.OK. I take it that you do not intend to say that no QR code is sent by email and text? I finally give up.
Easy. One at your accommodation, and one (or more if you want) when you stop for coffee, lunch, etc.Question: how does one get 2 stamps on the last 100k from Sarria?
I only go up the wall in desperation sometimes but it is short-lived. How come that you turned into a teddy bear?Don't go!!!

So we can find your registration and your correct names
Thank you for explaining because I registered online as you described, got a QR code but then no instructions as to what to do in santiago. Hoping to arrive tomorrow Saturday by 2 pm so hopefully will get my Compostela Saturday.I am now a volunteer at the Pilgrims Office
Indeed you have to fill in a form at the website of the Pilgrims Office and fill in some questions from which the multiple answers unfortunately are in Spanish but with some understading you will able to fill in the form
Then after completing it you get a number and a QR code in your e mail
When you arrive in Santiago at the Pilgrims office scan the QR code and you get a ticket with a number to go into in the office

There is a big problem understanding each other due to you and we are wearing masks (obliged in every public building in Spain)
and in between is a perspex glass window and lot of noise in the office
So please fill in the form as complete as possible and write down your personal information in your credential on beforehand so we have all your information in the computer and written on your credential. That works the fastest for you and us behind the counter to make your Compostela ready for you.
If you want a certificate of distance too be sure to have ready the information such as where you started your camino and when. A certificate of distance shows how many kms you have walked .
This certificate costs 3 €

Colette,Thank you for explaining because I registered online as you described, got a QR code but then no instructions as to what to do in santiago. Hoping to arrive tomorrow Saturday by 2 pm so hopefully will get my Compostela Saturday.
Will do!Colette,
Congratulations in advance!
Once the Santiago Effect has worn off a little, do you think you could find time to explain what happened once you got to the Pilgrims' Office?
Did you have an alphanumeric code? Did you use it?
Did you scan a QR code? Which QR code did you scan and how?
Please, please walk us through the process of what happens. That would be so useful.
Good luck tomorrow! I am sure it will be another memorable day for you.
I will make some pictures tomorrow to show you how to get the printed ticket to enter in the officeAlbertinho - I greatly appreciate your post especially as you are a current volunteer in the office!
Can you please clarify if the two references you make to a QR code are the same QR code?
You have said that on registration "you get a number and a QR code in your email" and then "at the Pilgrim's Office scan the QR code" so my question is:
1. Are you saying that when you get to the Pilgrims' office you need to scan the QR code that you got in your email? (and if "yes" can anyone give me an idiots' guide on how I use my iPhone to scan a QR code that is on my iPhone?) or....
2. Are you saying that when you get to the Pilgrims' office you need to scan the QR code that is displayed in the office?
Hope I don't come across as a total pedant but I know that when I am clear about a process others are clear
I have with my apologies to you all slightly correct my postI am now a volunteer at the Pilgrims Office

Without this ticket and no QR code on phone you won’t get admitance to the office.
If you have no smartphone or can’t get registrated at The website, you can fill in a form by hand and we put your info by habd into the computer system.
I have with my apologies to you all slightly correct my post
Register yourself at the website of the Pilgrims Office as I mentioned before
You will receive a text message that you are registrated and you’ll get an e-mail with a QR code
As soon as you’ll arrive at the entrance of the Pilgrims Office show your QR code to the Security in front of the door
so I have to correct my earlier reply a bit
At the moment it is like this in the Pilgrims office.
Before entering you have to fill in an online form on beforehand .
Once arriving in Rua Carreras no. 33 in Santiago outside you wait in line untill it is your turn to get in. Once it is your turn , the security hands over a ticket to you with a number .
With this number you may enter the office when your number appears on a big screen above the door. You will go to the window which number is mentioned on the big screen too.
Please have your have your name filled in at your credential in a proper handwriting
We first stamp the last stamp of the Cathedral at your credential.
Then we ask for the QR code which was sent to you by e-mail so keep it ready on your mobile phone.
We search for your name in latin to fill in at your Compostela certificate
The Compostela is written in latin and your name is a part of the text of the Compostela. lots of Pilgrims think we write your name wrong but it is not.
You can apply for a certificate of distance too
This certificate has a Spanish ( Castillano) text and we write down your proper names and the kilometers you walked as well the place you started from , the date you started and on which camino you were.
So please have this information ready for presentation. It works more efficiently for the volunteers behind the desk and you don’t have to wait too long.
A certificate of distance costs 3€
A carton tube to protect your certificates in your backpack costs 2 € .
In summertime and special holidays when the lines outside built up the Pilgrims Office will give you an approximate time to come to the Pilgrims Office once you registrate on lline on beforehand to avoid the Rua Carretas is full of pilgrims , lining up abd waiting for hours to get in.
But that is not now at the moment
Bom caminho

Once arriving in Santiago just mention you walked from Pais Basque and present your credential with stamps from there and see what happens.Its interesting -- I just went to the OP site to check out the registration form. We are starting in Irun and walking the Camino Vasco del Interior to Santo Domingo de la Calzada then continuing on the Frances to Ponferrada and finishing on the Camino de Invierno.
The Vasco is not listed as a route -- I assume because it does not end in Santiago, so that makes sense. So, I picked other caminos from the list. The problem is that when I pull down the starting point tab, neither Irun not Pais de Vasco are choices for starting points.
I guess I'll pick the Invierno for my route since that is what we will be walking to Santiago, and Ponferrada as our starting point.
I assume its not a big deal as this info only is relevant for the distance certificate. But the limits of the form will make the data collected by the Pilgrim's Office incomplete.
When you walk an unusual Camino it's best if you keep track of the distance yourself so the the volunteer in the Pilgrims Office doesn't have to calculate it themselves.Once arriving in Santiago just mention you walked from Pais Basque and present your credential with stamps from there and see what happens.
The route from my home in the Netherlands to Santiago is not listed either but the other day they wrote out a certificate of distance to somebody who walked from his home in the Netherlands so why not from Pais Basque ?
Thank you, Albertinho. This is very helpful.The QR code on the door of the pilgrims office which shows how to enter the Pilgrims Office .

I just did mine March 22, arrived by 9 am, celebrated in the square and took picture, went to office and got my certificate by 11 am. Do go there first, in case u need to beat the crowd. Then go celebrate in the square.Hi, would somebody please be kind enough to post the exact procedure, in a step by step guide, for how to apply online for one’s compostela on arrival in Santiago this year?
There were some recent threads, but I can’t find them right now, I’m technologically challenged, and have been asked to help a friend who is even more technologically challenged than me (if that’s possible).
Although I told her she should stay two nights in order to have time to get her compostela (in case she can’t do it on her phone), she has booked a flight out the morning after we arrive (yeah, I know, but it’s done now). We will arrive early as we have only 5kms to walk the last day. (Do we need two stamps in those 5kms???)
She turns 70 the day before we arrive, and I’d really like her to get her compostela, as it seems very important to her.
Very many thanks!!
Now I'm worrying that I didn't enter some of the data correctly and want to just check that everything is okay but can find no way back to review the entries. Maybe that's not possible. If I scan one of the QR codes I get the message "El grupo [number] está en proceso de preparación".
Am I worrying unnecessarily? Am I right in thinking that the data entered is a guide and (if necessary) could be corrected at the pilgrim's office?
Yes, relevant details can be corrected at the desk by the staff member without issue. But do point it out straight away when you arrive as you're handing in your credential.. and don't worry!
Thank you. Appreciate the advice and that’s a vary good idea!If you're anxious or stressed about it, you can if you want, start again and get a new set of codes. Just delete and ignore the old ones, no harm done. Either way, it will be fine.

Am I worrying unnecessarily? Am I right in thinking that the data entered is a guide and (if necessary) could be corrected at the pilgrim's office?
As @Flog says, these things can be corrected by the Pilgrim Office. I found out when I arrived last year that I had inadvertently entered my birthdate in place of my departure date. The person at the desk gently raised an eyebrow and then corrected my mistake. It was quick and painless.Yes, relevant details can be corrected at the desk by the staff member without issue. But do point it out straight away when you arrive as you're handing in your credential.. and don't worry!
