Assuming you took photos with your phone, all photos are date, time, and location stamped. First, present your analog case, with the appropriate regrets and conviction. Then offer to provide photos from your phone to establish your route of march and chronology.Hi everyone,
I'm on the Camino Frances and I started from León. I just realised that I was meant to double stamp on the last 100km. I thought this was just for those only doing the last 100km, which was a silly misunderstanding.
I have 40km (2 days left) so will do it from now on, but will I not be able to get my accreditation because of this? Will it be a problem? Please let me know, thank you!!
Starting in SHPdP, I didn’t get the two stamps per day in the last 100k either - wasn’t an issue or even discussed when I collected my Compostela.Hi everyone,

They are so busy they are unlikely to notice. If they do, explain politely. Uncomplicated.I suggest you tell them immediately you get to the counter rather than wait for them to spot the issue. More likely to help if you are upfront with them.
I didn’t double stamp and I didn’t bother to get a Compostela but I’m sure they’ll accommodate you if you show them your stamps.Hi everyone,

3 caminos and didn't double stamp on the last 100. Maybe one or two at bars here and there. I wouldn't worry.Hi everyone,

When I do a long Camino I usually only get one per day until the last 100 km to make sure that I have enough spaces in my credential (I like to only use one credential per Camino), but on a shorter Camino like yours you may as well get as many as you want each day from the beginning - each one will be a memory for you to look back onWow I thought the same as you, would only need 1 stump a day as I am starting from Porto. Thank you for telling me. I will try to get 2 stumps after Tui. Maybe get as many wherever I am.
I’ve often not double stamped and never had a problem getting my compestella.Hi everyone,

Iran out of official spaces from Porto to SDC, but had the stamps added across the maps on the back. No-one queried it.When I do a long Camino I usually only get one per day until the last 100 km to make sure that I have enough spaces in my credential (I like to only use one credential per Camino), but on a shorter Camino like yours you may as well get as many as you want each day from the beginning - each one will be a memory for you to look back on
Crying loudly should also work if pilgrim is too tired to smile.I think the penalty is 100 push ups for every day you missed getting a double stamp...
But as others have stated the pilgrim office isn't going to care. Just give them your most winning smile!
The Pilgrim Office staff KNOW if you walked all the way from France. They will generally cut you a break when considering the rule about two stamps per day in the final 100 km.Starting in SHPdP, I didn’t get the two stamps per day in the last 100k either - wasn’t an issue or even discussed when I collected my Compostela.
Santi no longer works at the Pilgrim Office - at least he was recently gone when I was there in August 2022. Dunno what the situation is now.If you have trouble, ask to speak with Santi: He is the "head" of many things in the Pilgrim Office.
I did the same route as you this time last year and forgot to double stamp once on the last 100km. I still had no problem getting my certificate.Hi everyone,

Whether or not you get a piece of paper with your name in latin, you did the hike and had your own experience that nobody else can credit to you or deny from you. I'm sure they'll give it to you anyway; the paper itself doesn't mean much compared to the memories you made.Hi everyone,

I was in a similar situation last year. I didn't know about the double stamp rule. When I did find out, I did start double stamping. They either did not notice when got my Compostela or they just figured that someone with stamps going back everyday to SJPDP wouldn't lie about having done the last 100 Km.Hi everyone,

Way back in 2014, they said to get double stamps. I didn’t. No one mentioned anything once I got to Santiago. Maybe things have changed…Hi everyone,

Many people consider it so. There are a number of repeat pilgrims who stop asking for Compostelas. Your pilgrimage ends when you reach the destination you are walking to. For those walking for religious reasons, that is often the tomb of St. James. For others, it is the Plaza de Obradoiro in front of the cathedral. For others it might not be in Santiago at all but in Finisterre or Muxía.If you did not pick up a Compostela will you still have completed your camino, or pilgrimage?
