PASSPORTS
A pilgrim passport might hark back to the days when it provided proof of purpose and even perhaps some degree of safe passage. Nowadays a fully stamped passport is used on some pilgrimage routes to enable you to use dedicated pilgrim facilities.
However on the Wexford-Pembrokeshire Pilgrim Way, our passports are a perfect way to record your achievement and are a wonderful memento to look back on in future years. The stamps collected on the way also act as proof that you walked the route before you collect your pilgrim completion certificate at your destination.
We have teamed up with the incredibly talented artist, Corin Burgess, to create a beautiful passport ready for equally stunning stamps which you will find at designated places along the way.
How to Get a Passport
Online: It is recommended that you purchase your pilgrim passport in advance. They need to be posted to you as they are printed on specially crafted card and are not suitable for home printing.
Cost: £10 / €10 (excluding postage)
Please complete the form with your details after which you will be taken to a Paypal payment page where you can select the number of passports required and pay via Paypal or use a credit/debit card. Many thanks.
