Hey, mein Nymphensittich scheint nur ein kleines Stück von der Rückseite meines Reisepasses gebissen zu haben. Ich frage mich, ob das ein Problem sein wird? Alle Seiten und das vordere Cover sind in Ordnung, nur das letzte hintere Hardcover ist beschädigt.
Der NFC ist immer noch lesbar, nachdem versucht wurde, interne Daten mit einem Telefon-NFC-Lesegerät mit der App „ReadID Me“ auszulesen.

I would get it replaced.
This should be fine, as long as safety features are still working/readable, i.e. water marks, holograms, electronics.
Generally speaking, in Germany it SHOULD be okay if data is readable. That being said, many countries won’t accept a passport that’s damaged even slightly. Id get a replacement.

If you want to take the chance, let me tell you that being refused to check-in at the front desk is not a nice experience.
It had taken a bit of water that slightly discolored my pic, I was still fully visible and identifiable, chip was working fine.
I had a similar damage on my EU/DE PASSPORT – it was rejected in trump country 🙁
I was expecting a picture of the criminal 🦜
For me it looks fine, but to be sure you should ask the federal police or maybe the place where you got it
sorry officer bird ate my passport
That goddamn bird!
Replace it. Just for your information: Your passport is not your property, it is the property of the Federal Republic. The republic guarantees your safety abroad and this piece of plastic and paper is supposed to save you from a lot of trouble. I would not risk giving foreign authorities the opportunity to reject you or mistreat you because of this.
I am always surprised why people ask the hive mind instead of talking to the experts (authorities in this case)….
This is SACHBESCHÄDIGUNG. You don’t own the passport. It belongs to the Federal Republic of Germany. You should be put in jail for damaging someone else’s property!!11!1!1 🤬 /s
Within Europe I wouldn’t care. Probably no problem. I’ve flown with a passport that had been invalid for four years (New one was at an embassy for a Visa and I don’t own a photo ID because I’m like Scrooge McDuck) but outside of Schengen… I’d get a new one.
Invalid.
Ask at your local Bürgeramt.
If in doubt, always get it replaced.
I am friends with a Bundespolizist and he mentioned once that damaged passport are to be replaced immediately.. He has worked in Passport control and officers are strict when it comes to damaged passports
LOL my dog ate my homework.
straight to jail
I washed my passport and most of the pages look like shit. But the chip works and I’ve been using it for years. Should be okay I’d try it on a low risk travel
You passport is valid. The most important that the MFI chip is untouched
Also don’t let These Istanbul Guys put Stickers on the back.
Some people use these kind of protective covers for their passport, with those you wouldn’t even see the damage. BUT in case someone would ever ask you to remove it and they would be bothered by the damage, it probably is the safer way to get it replaced. Cute birdie!
You might get rejected at the airport. The police at the border gave me a warning because some of the papers in my old passport had slight water damage.
provide a portrait of the culprit
Valid for self identification in Germany. Other countries – not necessarily. If you’re not planning on flying anywhere, you should be fine.
🤣 I like cocktails … I have 3 of this birds 🐦…. Yes they eat everything 😂. But I think your passport is okay „valid“ with this little damage
# Bird Passport Control:
# > Passport Valid 100%
# Next please….
I have water damage on my passport (from the fantastic EU bottle cap) 🙄 and anyway, while traveling inside EU (mentioning this because I had the national ID as a backup) I went to ask a passport control officer if the passport is still valid. And they confirmed that it’s ok, as long as the info page is not damaged and all information is completely readable, there shouldn’t be a problem. And I confirm that was indeed correct, as I travelled internationally after and had no issues.
But of course, it’s up to you if you want to take the risk.
If you work at the airport, take it to the Bundespolizei and ask them. They can tell you for definite.
