Do you have to pay to replace a damaged passport? If so, how much is it usually?

Question

I washed it in my pants pocket. (oops)

Answer 1

You have to start all over, which means applying in person and paying the $100 fee.

Answer 2

Probably, but the cost depends entirely on the nationality of the passport. Different countries have different prices and procedures for passport issue or replacement.

Visit a government website for your country and find the passport section where you might find a schedule of fees.

If you have current visas in a lost or destroyed passport you will need to contact the issuing country's local embassy or consulate for a replacement or new visa.
