There are guides available to download for a donativo from the Confraternity of St James in the UK - http://www.csj.org.uk/guides-online.htm

You may use the pilgrims passports which you already have or you can obtain others. You don't need a letter from your Parish Priest to obtain a new passport.

Buen Camino
