Pilgrim's office in Santiago - do I really need to pre-register?

Burgos-Santiago May 2023
Hi, planning to finish CF on 24 May. I don't want a Compostela, just a last stamp on my Credencial. From checking the website I don't understand if I NEED to pre-register online or if it will just be easier if I do. Many thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Buen Camino
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
If you just want a stamp - you can get just a stamp. But - if you just want a stamp from somewhere in Santiago - to show you arrived - that is possible too. I got a stamp from the Pilgrim's Office - but also got a stamp at my albergue in Santiago. In the future - if I don't want a Compostela - I will just get a stamp somewhere in Santiago.

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

The credential is meant to gather stamps.And to get access to albergues.
I think that you do not want a Compostela certificate.
 
No problem to get a stamp only at the Pilgrims Office.
only arriving on 24th of May I am afraid you have to stay in line for a while and anyway explain the security in front of the door that you want a stamp only.
you need a ticket to go to one of windows at the office counter ,mentioned on the ticket so maybe the security points you to one of the registration computers inside the building and you still registrate. There is changed a lot since last year when I was volunteer at the Pilgrims Office.

Ah - yes - I meant to say Compostela. I fixed my typo.
