Is my passport considered too damaged to fly?

Upvote:2

Assuming you’re referring to a British passport, from https://www.postoffice.co.uk/help-support/passports:

HM Passport Office classes a passport as damaged if:

  • Details are indecipherable
  • The laminate has lifted enough to allow the possibility of photo substitution
  • There’s discolouration of the bio-data page
  • There’s chemical or ink spillage on any page
  • There are 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

If the stain is visible on the bio page, the airline may well not accept it.
