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.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
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!

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.

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.
 
You fill it out yourself and get it stamped (with date) at your starting point. Buen Camino, SY
