Got your passport wet? Even if it dries out, water damage can warp pages, blur ink, and damage the chip. Airlines or border agents may reject it. If your passport has been soaked, it’s safest to replace it before your next trip. #PassportTips #TravelTips

Renewing your passport online? Don’t trust the green checkmark on your photo upload.
