goin to malia on 4th september
passport was machine washed by my mother 2 days ago tho
ive dried it, and put it in a vice to keep the pages from curling up, all in all it doesnt look too bad the picture and laminate is fine, all numbers etc are still there just the paper is a little thin
any idea if this will be ok? i called the passport office and they said to ask in a post office, so i did, but they appeared to be clueless on how damaged they can be and sent me back to the passport office helpline, so does anyone know whats acceptable before i go and forth in 10 circles?
Also if needed, whats the cheapest way of gettin it replaced asap? ( dont really have 100 quid to blow! altho it looks likely

sorry best get it replaced and the quickest way is a day trip to your nearest passport office,

i can wait a week really, but no longer
if i go to the passport office and get them to do it immediately, will it cost me a stupid amount? even more frustrating as i live in solihull... so no local passport office for miles!
