Pilgrim passport for CP

Time of past OR future Camino
CF '16, '18
Hello,
I am wondering where I would get a passport for my Camino - I will begin in Porto.
For my past CF I have ordered a passport from American Pilgrims website. First, does that organization supply passports for all Camino pilgrimages?
Does anyone know the best place to get a passport for the CP?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lynne. The Credential /passport is the same for any camino, as it is a Pilgrim credential, not a path credential. So you have a lot of options:

- get if from the American pilgrims again
- order it from this forum: https://www.santiagodecompostela.me...passport-from-the-pilgrims-office-in-santiago
- get one in the cathedral in Porto once you get there.

The Portuguese Camino is great, you will have a great time :)

Hello Lynne
You can pick up your credential at the cathedral in Porto. Cost €2.
 
Lynne,

An American Pilgrims on the Camino credencial can be used on any of the Caminos. They are available free of charge to anyone living in the United States and can be requested on the website www.americanpilgrims.org but please allow enough time between your request and departure date.

Buen Camino!

The best of course is the original credential issued by the Santiago Cathedral and available here on the forum at Ivar's shop.
If you order a Brierley guide, you get the credential for free.
Also the new Portuguese credencial , issued by Vialusitana in Portugal and available at the Sé in Lisbon are valuable as happy caminho memories.

Has anyone used the back of a guide book as a credential for stamps? The Brierley maps book has 4 pages of 10 squares each near the back. I'm going Porto to Santiago, so shouldn't need much more than 5 for the first few days and maybe 2 per day for the last 5 or 6 days. Right? I already have a great looking passport from doing the CF, so don't really need it as a souvenir as much. My only fear is that some overzealous hospitalero will say it is not allowed and refuse me entrance to an albuergue. Thoughts?

The credencial from the Pilgrim's Association Via Lusitana is only available at the Sé Cathedral in Lisboa, not in Porto. So far the Porto's Cathedral has not expressed an interest in having them available.

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
