It is advisable to renew your passport in India before departure, starting at INR 1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQs: Passport Damage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much damage is allowed on a passport?<br><\/strong>Slight discolouration on the bio pages and lifting of the laminate is fine on a passport.
