RANT/VENT ๐Ÿ˜ค Got my new passport. What a Cheap quality.

I received my new passport. There was a certain feel when we used to hold your passport.

Thisโ€ฆ it feels like a cheap cardboard or something. The first page itself is torn when i open it.

u/alittlebitwhy Why? 12h ago

The 30 pages passports look like this because of less pages. If you get the 60 pages passport the binding would be proper because the pages would be double.

Also, if the first page is torn then the passport is of no use. A passport becomes invalid if any page is torn and you may be refused entry by immigration.

Get a new passport issued, this time opt for a 60 pages passport so the binding is proper.

No, have 60 pages passport even my first and last page which is kind of laminated has poor lamination there are air gaps in it and looks like it may fall apart next time i travel ( not that i can afford to)

I have 60 pages passport, its worse quality than Navneet's notepad on stationary shops.

u/incredible-mee 6h ago

I have 30 pages passport issued 8 yrs back, the binding is quite good, unlike the one shown by OP.
So yes, the quality has been degraded intentionally.

u/BlueAuthorJAFF In my 20s but a Toddler by heart 3h ago

Yeah, my old passport from childhood is much better quality than the one I got renewed recently as an adult.

u/GultBoy 4h ago

This is important advice OP. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a new copy. Any damage to passport can cause it to be counted as mutilated and that can cause visa and immigration rejections.

1

u/DoNotDisturbMeEver 5h ago

I have no idea what the logic is, but if that is indeed the case, they can easily keep two similar but distinct jackets for 30 and 60 pages, which would ensure that the 30 pages passport look proper rather than one with half the pages missing.

I dont agree w you on the hospital/infra. Medical and pharmacy is much easily accessible in India than other countries. Ive been out of India so i can tell.

It is much more accessible but at the same time it far much worse in quality.

You can also visit the passport office. The officer J. Snehaja at Hyderabad who signed and put the official seal on your passport may be able to help you change it for free.

u/Bo0ochi 22 10h ago

You got the smaller passport. They use the same cover page for both 30 page and 56 page passport. The big one is perfect but it'll be sloppy for the 30pg one.

u/Disastrous-Dig5884 28 6h ago

I see, silent premiums

1

u/Koi_Hai 9h ago

We never felt this way. Quality is at par with other countries.

You throw this passport in the bin & ask Country like China or England or Finland to issue passport to you. They will happily do it since you are going to say nice words for them.

Just do it

u/MichaelScotPaperComp 27 9h ago

u/Disastrous-Dig5884 28 6h ago

So does it have versions or difference in quality? Like you dont get torn page in 60?

1

u/MichaelScotPaperComp 27 5h ago

Well all the covers are meant for the 60 page version.

Its like putting a 100 page notebook cover on a 10pg notebook.

Should've spent the extra cash if you wanted a thicc passport lil bro.
