I was caught up in the rain in April 2019 and my Intl passport was inside my backpack. I was when I was unpacking that I noticed that water has made a double color on my passport picture.
I may be applying for visas soon, would this passport be accepted?

Baba, go and renew to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Besides, I don't know about others but I wrap mine in a polyethylene bag always. I advice you do the same for safety.

Be ready to pay additional cost when renewing..

The best thing to do is to renew your passport. If you're not in Lagos, the process can be done within one day or latest one - two weeks

Who will renew it for him? No passport office will renew this him. You passport is damage. So, be prepared for an additional fee to get another passport.

Visit the nearest passport office or go to www.immigration.gov.ng

Let me help you out here. Mine was defaced also - worst than yours and still had 3 years in it.

If you go to Immigrations, they'll tell you to go to Abuja (that it's only done there etc) This option will be cheaper for you by the way because of official price for passport defamation.

I didnt have that kind of time so I advised them to treat it as lost/ stolen case. Got an affidavit and police report. They did all that honestly, I only paid them 50k plus additional for the reports. I think it is 10k less in Lagos but the truth is official price for stolen / lost case is 20k (based on the website) Assuming Abuja will be straight.

But if you consider that most immigration offices have been shouting "no booklets" and some people have spent 5 months after capture without seeing their passport, I am happy I did as I was advised and received the new one in a week. But it all depends on your urgency for it.

My advise, walk in there and complain of lost stolen passport; If you decide to use this means, please ensure you "lose" the passport as lying in an affidavit is perjury.

Renewal and changing which ever way you want to put it it's still involves getting a new one

It depends.
Do you have a running visa in it?

Best approach if you don't have a running visa

Same difference lol , and yes I’m following , point is why does something keeps happening anytime you’re with your passport?

So I traveled with it without issues except for a 1 dollar tipping at the airport
