Aldo it helps if you have some idea how many kms you have accumulated. Makes the process less time consuming.Domigee is correct. PROVIDED that your credential(s) establish a line of march from Point A to Santiago, the Certificate of Distance will states that you started at Point A and walked to Santiago.
In my direct experience as a volunteer at the Pilgrim Office, I have seen certificates with starting points from from Le Puy, Stuttgart, Utrecht, Warsaw, and Geneva.
As an aside, it is very common for bicyclists to have distance certificates stating that they traveled anywhere from 1,500 km to 2,500 km to arrive at Santiago. It is no different for walking pilgrims.
This optional certificate is available for €3. You can combine family members on one certificate if you wish. Some folks want "La Familia Garcia-Rodriguez," or "Mary & John Smith" accomplished this camino. Either way works, as does individualized certificates, at €3 each.
They will document anything you can substantiate.
Hope this helps.

If you start in, say, Florence and walk to Santiago, they will have the distances. If you walk Hadrian's Walll or Machu Pichu, then do something in Spain, I doubt they will add the miles. The point of the Distance Certificate is to make some money by documenting the distance you walked to get to Santiago. The pilgrimage does not have to be done all at the same time, but it has to be a continuous route ending at the Cathedral. It is not designed as a certificate for hiking in general.Should the credentials be of the specific routes you took (i.e. Francigena, Domitia etc.) or Santiago's credential can be stamped also on non Santiago routes as long as you walk to Santiago?

You can combine different routes in one credential, as long as the sellos establish a line-of-march on a pilgrimage route, from someplace to Santiago. The end point must be Santiago. You must have walked at least the FINAL 100 km on any route into Santiago. Before that you can have walked 10 km or 1,000 km. It does not matter for the purpose of obtaining a compostela.
Hope this helps.
