Damaged Passport
A Damaged Passport application is for anyone who has a valid passport that is damaged. Damage can be anything from the lamination peeling away from the photo page, or water damage, or the dog chewing it. The government generally is very quick to deem a passport damaged, so if you have any question it is probably damaged.
