    Yeah one time my passport got slightly wet – just enough to make it a bit crinkly – and my gov’t forced me to process it as “damaged” and pay a fine

      Similar to me. My passport got wet when I was in the rain. The lady at the Canadian passport office literally yelled at me for damaging it. I was surprised, but they seem to take it very seriously.
