Damaged Passport
Run your passport through the wash? Get soaked during a rainy stadium load out? Passport worn down from years of constant touring? There are lots of ways that your passport can get damaged, and we've heard most of them.
If your passport book cover is becoming loose or separated from the passport pages - but is not yet detached - you should apply for a renewal passport immediately. A passport without a cover is invalid and will not be accepted for international travel or foreign visa issuance.
If your passport cover has become fully detached but the visa pages are intact and there is no other damage to the passport, please contact SOS for options.
If your passport is mutilated or damaged to a greater extent - particularly if the face-page is illegible - you will have to apply as if you are a first-time applicant with all supporting documentation.
