Where to buy a pilgrim credential online?

[ffp13]

Or by mail order? I plan to start my camino at or near Pamplona, where can I buy a credential in advance?

Thanks in advance

Where are you starting? If SJPDP, YOU CAN GET ONE THERE for Free! I joined the "American Pilgrims on the Camino" $50 sent for my credential and arrived a couple weeks later. Hope this helps. Al

I think any country with an CSJ-affiliated association will provide them. We get ours online from the Canadian Company of Pilgrims - http://www.santiago.ca/

Very easy, and especially useful if you are worried about getting the credencial once in Spain.

There is a group in Adelaide who are going through the process at present of forming a "formal" Friends of the Camino, and when that is done we hope to have a pilgrim credential to offer to our members. I will post the latest info about this when all is confirmed - possibly 6 - 8 weeks away. regards, Janet

You can buy one online from Mundicamino.
Its quite nice to have it stamped by yur local parish before you leave.

Does this mean we can now get pilgrim credencials in Australia?

Hi Trudy, I am not sure what site Frank has found that is the Australian CSJ. As far as I have been able to find out there is no official CSJ here. As I said in the post above a group of us have been working towards getting one off the ground, although our name will be a "friends of" rather than a CSJ, and as soon as we become official we will have a credential available for members. The time is getting closer, and we will publish it as soon as it is. I am afraid it is a case of "watch this space" until then. regards, Janet

The kindle camino guide had a list of links to various CSJ around the world, Australia was on that list. After closer examination it is actually the UK CSJ, I was wrong

Which guide is available on the Kindle? Can you post a link?

I can get a credential in Pamplona, right?

Hi,

From your local Confraternity of St James, or from one of the companies that run Camino Tours. I.e.: http://www.caminoways.com.

Here is a link to the Pilgrim's Office "Credencial" page. They establish what is required for a credencial that will be accepted at the end of your camino when you go to get your compostela. I seem to remember that they won't accept one from a tour company, but I could be wrong.

Hi Johnnyman
You can get your credencial at the Bishop's Palace in Pamplona. We did in 2009 but I have forgotten where it is. Sorry
