They aren't really... and there are lots of people with damaged passports who have no problems whatsoever! See post #4.


Yes, you must have both. See post #8.


No... and you'll probably discover that you didn't actually need a new passport.

Someone from the passport office told you to change your passport... call me cynical but did you honestly think someone there would say "nah it'll be ok..." #coveringonesbehind ?

Hopefully your mind is at rest, even if your bank balance is lighter.

Why did you create this thread? You asked for advice and decided to ignore it anyway.

Because I wanted people's opinion! And I respect that they gave it! So if that's a issue with u I d suggest you don't write on this thread..

If you're going to solicit opinions and then completely ignore them, I suggest you do likewise!

BTW that's an interesting definition of "respect" you're using. I didn't realise it meant "solicit and then do the opposite of"!

I suggest that, in truth, you wanted someone here to tell you to get a new passport... in order to justify a course of action that you had already decided upon. But everyone here said you don't need a new passport... and that was in conflict with your predetermined course of action.

All you've done is waste everyone's time.

The OP seems to have decided which path to take...therefore I am closing this thread.
