Pilgrim Passport/Credential
With the increasing development and recognition of the Via Francigena, the ancient systems associated with the more well known St James Way to Santiago de Compostela are also being adopted. To gain admittance to religious hostels along the road, pilgrims must now present a credential to prove that they are hiking, cycling or riding the route. Each day, as pilgrims pass through towns, they receive stamps in the credential and at the end of their journey in Rome, they can present it to one of two places to confirm that they have completed the last 100 kilometres (from Acquapendente to Rome) - the minimum requirement for receipt of the 'Testimonium'.
Passports can be downloaded from the organisations listed below:
Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome
L'Associazione Europea delle Vie Francigene (AEVF)
