    How do I go about doing that? Have they an email I can contact them?
  • At the end of the day, it's an inconvenience, not a disaster, worst case scenario is another passport, you still have time, yes you could do without spending more money, however I'm sure it won't spoil your holiday, think positive.
    I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world

    The airline may refuse travel from the UK.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    You wont be able to travel on that, you need a new one, you should be able to get one quite quickly and you should be able to claim on your travel insurance. Not only is it too damaged anyway, but its clear from the picture that where the corners have been chewed details will now be illegible in the passport.

    Wife put my passport through he washing machine when on holiday a few years ago. Once it had dried it looked ok, but took it to the consulate in Malaga and they said it was no good even though you could read every page .

    I've seen people on telly turned away when they arrive at the airport with passports that have been through the washing machine. I'd be very surprised if you were allowed to travel with that. Would your home contents cover pay for this, although it's probably not worth the increase in premiums.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    There is no way that your passport will be accepted. You will have to apply for a new one. Suggest you phone and get another appointment for the fast-track service if you intend to travel on the 11th

    And get a letter cage for the back of the door. Saves an awful lot of hassle with post munching dogs.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    "no please dont say that.isnt it ok if the details are all readable? "

    Why ask if you don't want to hear a correct answer?

    Maybe cos I wanted the nicer answer like " yes you can use it and don't have to pay another 103 " lol. We've made another appointment for tommorow. Alot of people who have looked at it have said because all the details are still perfect that it could be used even the post office said it'd be OK but it is a huge risk so were going to play it safe and get another one. Yes definately need a cage on the door
