Hey everyone-

When I walked in 2012 I got my passport from the Pilgrim's Office in SJPP. For walking next month I figured I would order my new passport from Ivar- which I received today. Soooo very silly question-- Can I fill out my info in it myself or does it need to be done by someone "official" when I start in Pamplona? Or maybe I just put my name and then have someone write in my start date/check the "a pie" box at the first place I stay? Just don't want to fill anything out that I shouldn't ;)

Hope I see some of you along the way in October!

I don't know because mine came to me filled out by American Pilgrims on the Camino, but I do just want to note that I didn't put my actual passport number on my pilgrim passport because I just don't like it being in many places. Anyway, I just didn't put that information in. But, I did then have to show my actual passport all the time. It's up to you, but I just wanted to say that it wasn't a big deal that I did that.
 
On the Camino Ingles this year I filled out my own passport. The first place I stayed had instructions about how to fill it out, and I also filled in a record there saying that is where I started - you may need to look for that or ask about it if you don't start at a major departure point.

Vagando2011' you are at liberty to complete all the personal data parts of your Credencial. You might like to get a sello from the cathedral in Pamplona to show that that is where you commenced your pilgrimage. Though a sello from the Albergue or the Ayuniemento or indeed any bar will do.

Buen Camino
 
Thank you everyone :) I appreciate it!

On my second Camino, the pilgrim's passport I bought at the tourist office in SJPdP I just filled out myself and got them to stamp it.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
You fill it out yourself and get it stamped (with date) at your starting point. Buen Camino, SY
