The Pilgrim’s Credential is a personal document that pilgrims on the Via Francigena fill out during their journey as a souvenir of the road travelled. By presenting this document to participating parishes and municipalities, pilgrims can receive a special stamp. You can receive your own personal ‘credential’ by writing to the Associazione Europea delle Vie Francigene (Piazza Duomo, 16 - 43036 Fidenza (Pr). Applicants must include a self-addressed envelope including stamps with a value of 5.35 euro, which cover the cost of sending a registered letter. Expect the letter to arrive at least 10 working days after the receipt of your request.
Credentials can also be personally picked up at the Municipality of Fidenza’s Tourist Office in piazza Duomo 16. Applicants are required to present their identity cards. The office is open from 9am to 12pm and 3pm to 5.30pm.
