Partial passport

[cotton0226]

My daughter is walking the Camino this summer and I will be meeting her for the last 10 days or so. Where I meet her will depend on her location on a specific date rather than assigning a specific location now.

I know I can get a passport in Sarria, but if I meet her prior to that can I get one along the way?

Why not order your Pilgrim Passport from Ivar Rekve, the administrator of this Forum.
See more info here.

I'm not fully versed. If I get it in advance, does someone 'register' me where I start or are there only designated starting points?

Can I get into the hostels without one?

You can start your camino at any location along the route. Your first stop will provide your first stamp for your Pilgrim Passport. You need a Pilgrim Passport in order to stay in pilgrim albergues. You do not need one to stay in regular tourist accommodation. If you wish to receive a Compostela when you arrive in Santiago de Compostela your must have a Pilgrim Passport stamped twice daily showing that you have walked at least 100 km.

Thank you. This clears up a lot for me.
