New UK passport: lines over photo ID - is this a new security feature?

Dd has just renewed her passport. It arrived today, but it's damaged - the plastic coating over the ID photo page is cracked so there are lines over her passport photo.

All I can find is a premium rate phone number to ring the passport office on - ideally I want to email them a photo of the passport so they can see what I mean and advise me what to do.

Has anyone had this before? What did you do? I'm worried that customer staff won't let her travel on it - it looks as if we've been trying to cut the photo!

What a pain!

@TonTonMacoute as a Remainiac, I'd like to thank you for the shit show that is the UK at present. You deserve a medal.

@op mine also has lines through my picture.

Possibly the European company is doing them as cheaply as they can get away with and ripping of the UK government.

You mean that the Brexiters didn't know how to negotiate a good deal? I thought that we held all the cards.

'Remainiac'? Rather be that than having contributed to the complete unravelling of the UK economy. I have an equally catchy name for such folk - 'thick twats.'

Have a good day.
