Is there anywhere to get credentials in Pamplona so they would be admitted into Pilgrim Albergues?
Pilgrims can also obtain their pilgrims pass (Credencial) in the cosy pilgrims shelter Casa Paderborn near the old town and in the pilgrims refuge Jesús y María right in the old town and in the vincinity of the cathedral in Pamplona.Hello Folks,
A lovely credencial 'passport' can be obtained from the Presbetery Office at St James's Church in James's Street,Dublin for a donation of €10.
If you click on the link below you will find contact details for the Church and directions etc.

I work very near the Church and if your friends need further directions or information please feel free to drop me a PM and I would be more than happy to offer any further assistance.
rgds,

Hmmmm - the recommendations range from buying a credencial from the Irish Friends for 10€ or on the internet for £3.75 - frankly this is simply ripping off pilgrims.
The Official Credencial of the Cathedral of Santiago is sold by the Pilgtrims' Office for 1.5€ to individuals and to groups and other distributors for 1€.
Try the American Pilgrim web site. Google it and you can request a credential through them and have it prior to the Camino...if you hurryI am asking this question for a couple of friends. They have unexpectedly gotten the opportunity to walk some of the Camino Frances (something they have wanted to do for some time). They are leaving the US on the 21st of April to visit family in Ireland. On the 27th of April they will fly from Dublin to Santander and then make their way to Pamplona. They will walk for a couple of days from Pamplona, then, due to time constraints, move on to Sarria and walk the last 100 or so kilometers into Santiago.
Since they are leaving so soon, they don't have time to order credentials from the American Pilgrims On the Camino. The questions are:
a. Is there some way to pick up credentials from the Irish Society of the Friends of St. James while they are in Dublin??
b. Is there anywhere to get credentials in Pamplona so they would be admitted into Pilgrim Albergues??
c. If the above questions are no, is there somewhere to get credentials in Sarria??
d. Does anyone have any other suggestions??
Help will be greatly appreciated.

I hope everyone tolerates this public reply as this is a serious subject of concern to many pilgrims! I must confess I was unaware of the ownership of the website - I simply looked at the cost. My comments were not personal about you and I am sure that as always you are trying to serve pilgrims' needs. The problem here is that someone has purchased credenciales from the Pilgrims' Office for 1€ and then sold them on to you for almost 3€. Then you have had to bear the cost of postage from Spain.
It seems to me the solution is for you to get credenciales direct from the Pilgrims Office - or better still since you are UK based from the Peterborough Pilgrims. In this way costs are kept to a minimum.
I have sent you a Private Message and perhaps we should continue this conversation there.[/COLOR]

They can pick up the Irish credentials from St James church in Dublin. Its up beside the Guinness storehouse tourist attraction so anyone in Dublin can direct them there. While there they can get their first stamps from the church then walk round to the Guinness storehouse, go to the reception desk and they will give them the Irish confraternity stamp and a Guinness one. Dont worry, there is no mention of Guinness on the stamp. If there are queues at Guinness they only need join them if they are taking the tour, otherwise just walk on in to the reception deskI am asking this question for a couple of friends.

Can I add to that great advice by saying that we drove down from Belfast to do just that and we found that you need to go to the sacristy round the side of the church and be advised that it is only open in the morning I think 10-12am. You should also know that as well as a stamp at the church you can get two stamps at Guinness. If you cross the road from the church and walk slowly city-ward keep looking for a plaque on a wall and you will see the place in the ancient walls of Dublin, where the pilgrims left for Spain.They can pick up the Irish credentials from St James church in Dublin.

Hi Marigold, can’t help you with your question but why not order your credencial here on the forum .Hi,
Does anyone know if the Peterborough Pilgrims still send out Credentials. I sent an email a few days ago but have not had a reply yet.
Thanks
Thanks for your post Peter, but I have read all the posts here and I can't seem to find one that offers a way of buying it here.Hi Marigold, can’t help you with your question but why not order your credencial here on the forum .
Wish you well, Peter.
Thanks for your post Peter, but I have read all the posts here and I can't seem to find one that offers a way of buying it here.
I think I'll use up the spaces on one that I had before, or go to the Confraternity.
Not to worry and thanks
Thanks Davey - don't know why I missed that!Hello Marigold
Here's the link to the credencial sold here if you change your mind
