How to get Credentials from S JEAN please ? Can I do it online. Or do I have to get it in the town Centre ?

If you want to have a credencial before setting off you can order one online from Ivar who hosts this forum. Speaking from experience I can say that he posts them out very quickly and efficiently : https://www.santiagodecompostela.me...passport-from-the-pilgrims-office-in-santiago

There is no big problem in getting a credencial from the pilgrim office in St Jean. They are open from very early in the morning to late evening and are very helpful in other ways too: handing out updated accommodation lists and elevation maps and advising on any problems along the route to Roncesvalles. I strongly recommend you visit them before setting off. St Jean is a small place and most of the albergues are very close to the pilgrim office. It is not a chore to find it.

I get mine delivered from the shop on this forum. It arrived in less than a week. As the previous reply said you get one from the pilgrim office in St Jean easily enough, unless you arrive very late and leave very early.
However you get it, do try to visit the pilgrim office anyway.

I simply picked mine up in SJPPD when I walked in 2015. The office was right across the street from my alburgue. They were open late.

Whoops, I can see that my comment implied I was in SJPPD at this very moment. I'm not actually. I should have written "I simply picked mine up in SJPPD." Sorry for the confusion.

Wish you a wonderful time and a Buen Camino,Peter.

There is really no reason to get one online, imo.
They have them at the Pilgrim Office.
SJPP village consists of one tiny main street and it takes about 5 minutes from pretty much any albergue there.
Also, this time of year, it's good to check in so they know who is on the trail, in case you don't show up in Roncesvalles.
