Nowadays, there is an official Pilgrim Passport that is the one distributed all over the world, and the one accepted by the Pilgrims&#8217; Office of the diocese of Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims from all over the world need to collect different stamps along the Camino on this document. This way, once in Santiago, they will be able to request the Compostela (also known as Compostelana, or Pilgrim Certificate). This is the document that <strong>certifies that the Camino was accomplished.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The official Pilgrim Passport (and others accepted by the Cathedral) is printed on a cardboard, with sixteen pages, that can be open, creating the shape of an accordion. The first page is like a letter of introduction. On the upper side of the page, there is an area to be sealed by the organization that issued the Pilgrim Passport. Below this, there is another area to insert the date and the seal of the Cathedral once the pilgrimage is finished. At the lower part of the page, we can see the Prayer of the Pilgrim and the Blessing of the Pilgrim (both written in the C\u00f3dice Calixtinus, the first guidebook of the Camino de Santiago). The rest of pages are white, destined to collect the stamps. There are also maps of the different official routes of the Camino de Santiago.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"131031\" class=\"elementor elementor-131031\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d2d723a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d2d723a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ea154ff\" data-id=\"7ea154ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d451f13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d451f13\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-229db094\" data-id=\"229db094\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78515af2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78515af2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO PRACTICAL GUIDE<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc84fe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bc84fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FREE DOWNLOAD<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2204a581 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2204a581\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our FREE Practical Guide to the Camino de Santiago.

Many pilgrims leave a message on these books, to encourage other fellow colleagues. It is very common to read: <strong>&#8220;Buen Camino&#8221;<\/strong>.

If you are cycling, you will need to cycle at least 200 km. If you are doing the whole route (for example, the whole <a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/frances\/from-st-jean\/\">French Way from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port<\/a>), one stamp per day is enough.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can-I-bring-my-own-Pilgrim-Passport\"><\/span>Can I bring my own Pilgrim Passport?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>No. If you want to get your Pilgrim Certificate or Compostela once in Santiago, you will need to have the Official one (the one issued by the Pilgrims&#8217; Office).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-Pilgrim-Certificate\"><\/span>What is the Pilgrim Certificate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Pilgrim Certificate\u00a0(also known as Compostella, Compostelana, or) is the document that certifies that a pilgrim has completed the Camino de Santiago. It is an official document that confirms the pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint James the Apostle.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Pilgrim-Certificate-history\"><\/span>The Pilgrim Certificate: history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Before the Pilgrim Certificate existed, in the IX and X centuries, the way to prove that the Camino de Santiago was done, was with <strong>a scallop shell<\/strong>. But these shells are easy to forge. During the XIII century, the <strong>Probationary Letters<\/strong> started to be quite popular. These letters are considered to be the origin of the Compostela.<\/p>\n<p>On the XVI century, the Catholic Monarchs constituted the Royal Hospital Foundation (which is nowadays the Parador de los Reyes Cat\u00f3licos, a hotel). Those pilgrims who showed their certificate, where entitled to stay there for three days for free. This Foundation was transformed into a Pilgrim Hospital, the most important of Galicia region. And after that, it was the headquarters of the popular School of Medicine of Santiago de Compostela. In 1954, it was turned into a hotel: the Parador de Santiago. But it still offers free meals to the first pilgrims that arrive there each day. But of course, they need to show their Pilgrim Certificate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Pilgrim Certificate or Compostela\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/La_Compostela_GaliWonders-min-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pilgrim Certificate or Compostela\" width=\"280\" height=\"364\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Pilgrim-Certificate-nowadays\"><\/span>The Pilgrim Certificate nowadays<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>With the popularization of motor vehicles and tourism, the Camino de Santiago turned into a pleasant journey. A good option to go on holidays.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the sanctuaries started to issue their own certificates, trying to emulate the Compostela.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, the Compostela or Pilgrim Certificate can only be given to those pilgrims who arrive in Santiago de Compostela for religious reasons, to visit the tomb of Saint James the Apostle. It can be walking, cycling, or horse riding. That is why nowadays there are other kind of documents like the &#8220;Welcome Certificate&#8221;. We will talk about it after.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-do-I-need-to-do-to-get-my-Pilgrim-Certificate\"><\/span>What do I need to do to get my Pilgrim Certificate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In order to get your Pilgrim Certificate, you will need to <strong>walk at least the <a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/blog\/last-100-km-camino-de-santiago\/\">last 100 km of the Camino de Santiago<\/a><\/strong> (walking or horse riding). Or 200 km if you plan to cycle. This is proven with the Pilgrim Passport, with all the stamps collected along the way. Also, the final stage of your Camino needs to be Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\n<p>You <strong>do not need to do the Camino continuously over time<\/strong>, but you need to follow the same route. For instance: we can walk one or two stages each weekend. But we always need to resume our walk from the same place where we left it. If you skip a section of the route, you would not qualify for the Pilgrim Certificate.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who-can-request-the-Pilgrim-Certificate\"><\/span>Who can request the Pilgrim Certificate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Any person can request the Pilgrim Certificate, even minors. In this case, they should be accompanied by their parents, or be part of a group. And they should understand the spiritual nature of the Camino.
