As a rule, in many places, you might be able to go to a post office and have someone who has the authority to stamp it. But I was there about nine years ago, and it sure wasn't obvious where you could find anyone to do it.
In fact, I don't think my passport shows more than about a third of the countries I've been in, since I got a new one about five years ago. And the one before that didn't have many of the countries I had visited either. Even when you fly in or out of a country (as in from one EU country to another), I don't think you will necessarily have someone stamp your passport.

topping, for mel
I visited Andorra 2 years ago, and one of the things I remember is that there still were checkpoints at its borders.
Passports were checked and almost all cars were inspected.
As far as I remember this was only done by Spanish and French customs, when leaving Andorra. I do not remember one Andorran official showing any interest in who was entering his country.
The reason for this checks is obvious when you enter Andorra: the borderland is stuffed with liquor stores and other taxfree paradises. I think its neighbours see it more or less as a smuggler's nest...
They don't stamp at the border, but you can get a souvenir stamp in your passport (the old coat of arms stamp they used before they began scanning instead) at the Sindicat d'Initiativa (Chamber of Commerce):
Sindicat d'Initiativa de las Valls d'Andorra, Carrer Dr Vilanova, Andorra la Vella. Tel 820 214 fax 825 823
I found this old post...does anyone know if this is still done at "Sindicat d'Initiativa de las Valls d'Andorra"??
We are considering going there for La Vuelta in September.
Topping for me (again)...
Does any one know if this (passport stamp)is still done at "Sindicat d'Initiativa de las Valls d'Andorra" ???????
