ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello. I would like to ask if somebody has experienced their passport torn. Do you need to have your affidavit of destruction/mutilation publicly notarized around bkk? Or do your own embassy also offer public notarization?

TLDR : Answer Summary

If your passport is torn, you cannot travel with it and should get a new one. It is unclear if the affidavit of destruction must be notarized in Bangkok, or if your embassy provides this service.
