I will start my Camino from Pamplona but I will not spend the night. Where can I get my credential stamp?
Many thanks.
 
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.
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.
Any place that is in busness can stamp your Credential. For example the central Tourist Office calle San Saturnino, 2, is used to pilgrims as is the University of Navarra as you walk west out of the city.

Buen camino.

Best stamp for your credential in Pamplona is from the Town Hall…..just head in through the main entrance and tell the policeman on guard that you are a pilgrim and would like a stamp and they will direct you through to an office which will oblige…..best stamp (sello) on my 2019 credential by far,,,,,,Buen Camino !

I got mine at the Cathedral (October 2021). There was a stamp for use by pilgrims at the entrance/ticket office, and I think you could stamp even without entering.
 
Anywhere and everywhere. Sellos are pretty much ubiquitous along the Frances. The very occasional place will actually have a ‘no sello’ sign up; otherwise it’s highly likely that there will be one.

Definitely at the Cathedral but you can get your credencial stamped at any of the city centre albergues and hotels and in a lot of the bars on the Camino route out of the city.

Day 1. Camino Frances. March 2019
Walking out of Pamplona, having arrived the previous evening by bus from Bilbao,
it occurred to me that I had failed to get my Credencial stamped in my hostel.

Almost the last buildings, before heading into the countryside are of the
University of Navarra.
I wandered into the facility, feeling underdressed and gauche, however, I need not
have been so worried.
I walked into the grand reception area to be greeted by two porters.
Now, my Spanish is non existent but with a smile, the chaps went, into a cupboard
and stamped my thus far virgin document.

I went back to the Camino with a spring in my step.

Bars and cafes/restaurants have some of the most unique sellos/stamps. There's bound to be a couple of them you will pass by that have them. Just pop in and they will know. The tourism office is a 100% as I have gotten a stamp there before.
