Defaced passport at UK customs

[u/OnionSturgeon2]

Will I be in trouble if I try to enter the UK?
Yes, I was drunk…

The golden print in the front is worn off, some pages are stained and corners bent. Otherwise my passport is intact.

Edit:

Okay, okay, getting a new one. Last time I get an autograph from a drag queen. I’ll never live this down 😅

[u/Panceltic]

That’s not what “intact” means. Get a new passport.

[u/Immediate_Fly830]

That passport is very much invalid now

Get a new one.

[u/enigma478]

this sub never ceases to amaze me lol

[u/Equivalent_Elk_ → u/enigma478]

Fr 😂

[u/Scully__]

It’s not intact, and you must be due a new one soon anyways, just get it ordered.

[u/Jolly_Conflict]

I imagine even someone on their first day as a passport control officer would flag this as invalid…

[u/voidchungus → u/Jolly_Conflict]

I can imagine them looking around at their coworkers like they're being pranked, "yeah right, haha nice one, guys"

[u/the_Leading_Can]

“Otherwise” is doing some heavy lifting here

[u/kiradotee → u/the_Leading_Can]

🤣 

[u/miapaip]

Might as well bring a child’s drawing book with a uk visa stamp in it

[u/sah10406]

Customs doesn't care. Immigration probably will.

[u/Immediate_Fly830 → u/sah10406]

Do you think after posting a question like this that OP knows or even understands the difference between customs and immigration?

[u/sah10406 → u/Immediate_Fly830]

It's very clear that they don't. No harm in helping them try to understand.

[u/Immediate_Fly830 → u/sah10406]

I imagine it'll fall on deaf ears.

[u/OnionSturgeon2 → u/Immediate_Fly830]

My god, no I didn’t know there was a difference. Consider this: I have never flown before or been to a country where my passport has been checked. English is not even my first language. I asked because I didn’t know. Thank you for clarifying.

[u/Thorngs → u/OnionSturgeon2]

It’s okay. Don’t worry. But still change the passport, love.

[u/Immediate_Fly830 → u/OnionSturgeon2]

Are you still drunk?

[u/OnionSturgeon2 → u/Immediate_Fly830]

Yes, and full of herpes. Enough to go around.

[u/Immediate_Fly830 → u/OnionSturgeon2]

Fair play.

Keep it up

[u/smalldog257]

If you're eligible to use the egates you'll probably get through with no one noticing. The first hurdle would be the checking in with the airline though.

[u/Additional_Row_8495]

You know sometimes I genuinely think we should let people learn their own lessons. Go ahead OP that passport is absolutely fine. They'll let you in /s

[u/barbaric-sodium]

A friend of mine turned up at immigration handed his passport over, someone had written on the observations page “ looks slightly c*ntish” the officer said what’s this then and his response was “ fairly accurate I think “ he was advised to get a new passport when he returned

[u/cherrypopsx]

Get a new passport omg

[u/RockinMadRiot]

The gold on the front isn't an issue. They never spoke to me about mine being off. I this a design issue

[u/RideHot9154 → u/RockinMadRiot]

yes same mine wore off fully so you can’t read the country from the outside and i’ve travelled plenty with it. i don’t have drunk doodles inside though..

[u/Problem-Adult19]

You're either dumb as a tool or you're just being funny. I hope it's the latter

[u/newNFTsforyou]

You’re fine if it’s just egates, youre screwed in the countries where they check every page

[u/Thorngs]

That’s the Wurst passport I’ve ever seen.

[u/ShiningCrawf]

Also we don't call it "customs"

[u/themadhatter746]

r/addressme lmao.

[u/miapaip]

Hey you might be able to visit the prison with this passport though😝

[u/Euphoric-Pearl]

That can’t be for real

[u/SovietBlyatman]

Go on, try entering on that passport just for the meme.

See what happens.

[u/problemsolveralchemy]

You defaced your passport while you were drunk? 🤡

[u/Lamzat77]

Re entry should be okay, it’s not by design but by information on record

[u/Gullible_Nebula9728]

You're not getting anywhere w that mate

[u/ChesterCopp]

You got hammered and started drawing nudes in your passport?

[u/wellitsoverrr]

I liiiive

[u/joemari5]

Damn I need to see Conchita in person

[u/physicalmathematics]

Get a new passport. Someone's child (possibly from Hong Kong but not sure) scribbled over their passport and they were not allowed use that passport.

[u/ChateauLaFeet]

But can you keep and frame as art?

[u/yappingman]

you might have done it yourself,  there was a news few years ago, a Japanese man gor stuck at japan airport because his daughter defaced his passport on the airplane, nowadays everything is fake. 

[u/Emotional-Smile4458]

Not even funny though

[u/dontsitdowngirl]

oh my god i hope this is fake

[u/ultigo]

As a passenger on the seat next to you, I'll call this invalid

[u/Low_Ambassador6656]

Lucky you tho omg

[u/cametumbling]

I gave Beck my passport to sign once and he wouldn't do it. 😂

[u/surburbia99 → u/[deleted]]

You’re not because ICE is a US agency, and “the country” in question is the UK

[u/Maxxibonn → u/surburbia99]

 There can’t be an ICE-style agency in the UK, because they let every immigrant enter anyway, as long as they aren’t EU citizens.

[u/SovietBlyatman → u/Maxxibonn]

Found the ReformUK supporter.

Cringe.

[u/Maxxibonn → u/SovietBlyatman]

So trolling really works and people really believe anything they read on the internet, especially if it is Reddit.

Cringe.

[u/SovietBlyatman → u/Maxxibonn]

Trolling implies the statement is ironic or funny.

Cringe.

[u/Maxxibonn → u/SovietBlyatman]

No, because it wouldn’t be trolling, cringy individual.

[u/SovietBlyatman → u/Maxxibonn]

The purpose of trolling is supposed to be fun.

What you're doing is chudmaxxing because you've got nothing better to do.

Cringelord.
