For complex reasons I am planning to arrive in Santiago, with credential duly stamped, but will then leave immediately to visit other places. I am returning to SdC for transport home and I would like to visit the Pilgrim Office then. Is there any problem if I go to the pilgrims office several days after completing the Camino?
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
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.
As far as I know as long as you have all the required stamps (including one from Santiago I suppose), it does not matter when you actually collect your compostela.
But I know this forum has some experts on this. I am sure they can give a very definite answer
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
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.

€83,-
Arriving at the Pilgrim Office just before it opens in the morning can facilitate a very streamlined experience with little or no waiting in line.
 
I do not think it is a problem. As long as you forfilled everything what is needed to get a Compostela

Maybe they can “anti date” the date if you ask but the system changed since I worked there last year due to computer automation

I collected mine 2.5 years later. They wrote on it the date I collected it as well as the date when I completed my Camino.
