It can be obtained online via the viefrancigene.org store or at numerous distribution points along the route, including tourist offices and city museums, which are listed below.

The Pilgrim’s Credential offers practical benefits such as access to hospitality facilities and preferential rates, discounts at affiliated restaurants and coffee shops, as well as concessions on transportation of up to 10% with Trenitalia, Trenord and FlixBus.

This document is comprised of 2 sections: the first for the pilgrim’s personal details, with space for the official stamp of arrival and the second dedicated to the stamps of each stage issued along the way by secular, religious or local facilities. Those who complete the last 62 miles or 100 kilometers on foot or 124 miles or 200 kilometers by bicycle can obtain the Testimonium, the official certification for the pilgrimage. A QR-Code in the Pilgrim’s Credential allows anonymous data to be collected to improve services for pilgrims.

The recommended price is €8, supporting the activities of the European Association of Via Francigena Ways (EAVF) and other associations aligned with the Via Francigena, including map updates, the official app and infrastructure.

The Pilgrim’s Credential also represents a Code of Ethics, inviting pilgrims to respect the spirit of generosity that animates the journey by contributing a recommended €10 offer per lodging to secure hospitality for future travelers.
