Use this form to request credentials for your group of seven or more pilgrims.
Description
|
While on their journey along the Camino de Santiago, pilgrims carry a credential or pilgrim's passport (credencial in Spanish), a document with which the pilgrim authenticates their progress by obtaining stamps (sellos in Spanish) along the way. Sellos can be obtained at most hotels and inns, restaurants, bars, churches, museums, city halls, post offices and at all albergues.
When registering at an albergue, pilgrims will be asked to present a credential to verify they are walking, cycling or traveling by horseback on the Camino. In addition, upon reaching Santiago de Compostela, at the Oficina de Acogida de Peregrinos (Pilgrim's Reception Office) at Rúa Carretas 33, pilgrims can present their credential to confirm they have completed at least the last 100 kilometers on foot, wheelchair, horseback or by sailing, or cycled at least the last 200 kilometers, and received at least two sellos per day during that period. The pilgrim can obtain a Compostela, a document certifying their pilgrimage.
American Pilgrims on the Camino is pleased to be the only provider of credentials in the United States authorized by the Pilgrim's Reception Office in Santiago de Compostela. Membership in American Pilgrims is not required to request a credential nor is there a charge. You can request up to 40 credentials.
We ask you to provide the dates of your planned pilgrimage and information about your group's route and mode of travel. After completing the first page, you will be asked to enter each pilgrim's name and email address.
We gratefully accept donations from those who would like to defray the costs of providing credentials to groups. We suggest a minimum donation of $3 per credential.
Please Note the Following: Request your credentials at least six weeks before you depart from home and allow three weeks for your documents to arrive.
Credentials are available at almost all starting points on the various Caminos if your departure date is within three weeks.
Please double-check all information (names and email addresses) before clicking the submit button.
The credential requestor will be responsible for distributing the credentials to group members.
