So I'm taking a couple of days off from being the tea guy after Sarria to join some camino friends on the Portugués from Pontevedra to Santiago.

I can't find anywhere to get a passport though it's too short to need one for a compostela, but it would be nice to collect the stamps. We set off tomorrow to Caldas de Reis. It feels rather more Portuguese here in Pontevedra than at home near Portomarin.

Any likes and I'll continue to post here.

Have you asked for a pilgrim passport at the Xunta albergue in Pontevedra? Here is their info page from Gronze.

Starting in Pontevedra you can’t apply for a Compostela certificate at the pilgrims office
 
Yes, he was aware of that.
there were some at the Pilgrims Office ,started from Pontevedra and were very disappointed that we did not write out their Compostela.
It ended up for 3 € each they could get a touristical documment.

My friend realizes she will not get a Compostela--this is more because I had my heart set on the Albergue in Herbon and was hoping she could access it too (though unsure if it is open?)

Not sure why you cannot source a credencial. You live there at the moment. Have you asked locally? Parishes? Parochial albergues? Casa Ivar? Roncesvalles? Have you no other unfinished credencial?
