Probably not. The Albergue doesn’t appear to sell credencials.
Depending on your time schedule you could purchase one from Ivar’s shop by post. Or, depending on your entrance point to Iberia obtain one in Santiago or Porto.
 
Do you have time to order one from the Irish Camino Society? I think that the Irish credential is one of the prettier ones.

Tinca-- Hmm-- given that the Portuguese Central Route gets more foot traffic than the Coastal Route, is it safe to assume that one could find credentials at Valenca do Minho or Tui? And if not at either of those albergues, perhaps in or around the cathedral at Tui??
 
According to Gronze.com, the Albergue de Peregrinos Sāo Teotónio issues credentials.

On the Gronze site look for
"Expedin la credencial" under "Servicios y equipamiento."



Gronze says that the albergue in Tui doesn't issue credentials, but they are at the cathedral.

Hi Tony, would you please share the place in Baiona where to get a pilgrims passport? I should start the walk from Baiona Monday the 24th or the next day. Many thanks Niko
 
Not a big deal, but Baiona, though it is on the Camino Portugués, is actually in Spain. Not to be confused with Baiona/Bayonne in France! None in Portugal that I know of.

Beautiful little place with lots of great places to eat seafood if you are a fan.

We bought our pilgrim passport at Albergue Estela Do Mar, in Baiona. That was September 2023
