I washed and dried my passport. Can I still use it?

You should have the passport checked to insure that it is not damaged, otherwise it may be rejected.

Better to do this now while you still have time to get a replacement.


4. Definition of a damaged passport
A damaged passport is one which isn’t in a condition to be accepted as proof of identity. Damage may include the following:

  • details are indecipherable
  • the laminate has lifted enough to allow the possibility of photo substitution
  • discolouration to the bio-data page
  • chemical or ink spillage on any page
  • missing or detached pages
  • the chip or antenna shows through the end paper on the back cover for the new style e-passports
  • the chip has been identified as damaged after investigation
