At Rota the police will ask you for your boarding pass before they will stamp your passport. This is very important and they are not flexible. If you arrive during regular business hours you need to go have your passport stamped. If you arrive after business hours you still can go there and the duty agent will sign a paper stating you were there. They are open 24/7.
