    It might be. I would ring the passport office for advice and if need be get a replacement.

    Mine is damaged in the same way. I have used it for the past 3-4 years in that state and I have never had problems. It can stil be scanned and read under UV light.
  • Mine is the same!

    I've used mine for the past few likes it with no problem. It is just the edges that are a bit crinkled and some of the dye has run on the pages.

  • mine is the same and i have had no problems. but if you are not sure take it to a travel agent and ask for advice or if you live near a airport you go a ask airport staff.
  • H's passport was the same and was refused to fly on it. The lady told us to buy some glue and stick it down. We did and we flew on it but I would get a new one. Better than being stuck not going on holiday.

    Mine went through the wash in australia last year. The pages are a bit crinkled but I've used it in New Zealand, Thailand (twice) and Myanmar since then with no problems.

    I've still got 7 years left on it so I'm not replacing it unless I really have to.

    Passports with a watermark prove they are legit so you will be fine.

    I'm here all week.
  • Ask at the passport counter in your local post office. They are usually very helpful.
