By Replacing Damaged U.s. Passports, You Are Protecting Your Vacation

If you replace a damaged passport and you protect a vacation

. Learn the common dangers that can deface travel documents and know the severity of damage that justifies replacement. Fortify the travel budget to withstand bad effects that damaged travel documents can cause.

The best sales person sunbathes at the seashore. She has won an award and now enjoys the first prize, a paid vacation, compliments of her company. She is unsure if the passport she dropped into the water will cause her to remain in paradise a little longer.

This champion sales person enters the airport for her trip home. She recites for the customs employee how her passport got submerged in a sink containing water. The customs employee states that water certainly can harm travel documents. Customs then dutifully explains that she will not be allowed to go back to her home country until she acquires a replacement passport.

Leading Causes of Damage To Passports

Afterwards, across from the hotel, a local travel adviser offers our now miserable sales representative a cup of ginger tea. The adviser invites her to rest in a chair against a wall covered with photographs of scenes in various tropical paradises. Many things can do harm to passports, the travel agent says. He remembers how one tourist spilled ink onto his travel documents and how a mountain climber hopped on his passport while wearing climbing shoes. The pointy nails on the bottom of his shoes poked holes in his visas. Another passport got crushed and dented by heavy musical equipment. People accidentally fold up travel documents and visas and water or humidity can be very harmful.

Recognize Severity Of Damage

How can voyagers learn to recognize when they need to replace their travel passport? A photo that appears to the fingers or eyes to be scraped, warped, disfigured, or unclear demonstrates the existence of damage. Letters or stamps that appear wore down or poorly applied also indicate a damaged condition.

Customs personnel can conclude that a passport is excessively damaged if its electronic computer chip does not operate. Passports currently carry its bar code and its electronic chip. Customs officials might specify that a passport is too damaged to function if the bar code becomes indecipherable. A chip can be corrupted by electronic or physical means.

Consequences

You might have to give up is the ability to travel to the country of departure. Envision passengers getting back home but you cannot go out with them for several days until you receive the replacement passport. The reason is the mangled pages in the passport do not believably describe which nation is the country of departure. So the current country blocks you from returning to the nation you claim you were in previously. You might not be able to travel home to your previous destination if you have a worn out, barely readable passport.

One example of a loss is the loss of anonymity. If travel documents need to be replaced the affair must be handled in very public government offices. The traveler may have to talk to the police authorities. This probably means signing some police documents. Oh yes, you must reapply for a new passport in person. Every signature you sign proves you traveled to that location. Beloved fans and the paparazzi will find out where you are.

The delay to go back home can create a loss of wealth. Departure gets delayed because you must wait for delivery of new undamaged travel documents. How important is the loss of income in the amount of one week of wages? An unexpected loss of finance can punch a hole in a travel budget. Then, the wise travel agent ceased speaking. Our sales person thanked her new friend, the travel agent, for his experiences and ginger tea.

Her replacement visas and passport arrived after about seven days. Our sales champion flew back home. She feels happy that she brought along extra money because she needed it. She makes two promises to herself. She vows to get a new passport and visas before they get too worn and tattered. And she promises to remain watchful over her passport during future international travel.
