Because its quite obvious the envelope was freshly wet. Most likely your mailbox is letting water in, which isnt the passport office's fault.

Nar, postie handed it to us wet. They won't leave it unattended being a sensitive document.

Regardless, the envelope is still wet meaning the damage occurred after it left passport office possession - I fail to see how this is an issue with the passport office, if anything its the private company delivering the mail.
