Sigmund Freud’s BOGUS British Passport

It could have been a great global news story to find the passport of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. But the story took another direction.

Via my website, I always get plenty of reader requests. Family members searching for personal ID documents, asking where they can find passport copies of relatives, or wanting to know if their old passport has some value. But sometimes also strange requests come in. Some time ago, I had a guy asking, “Can you organize for me, my wife, and my three children EU passports?” I replied that he misunderstood my website about passport history and not “organizing” documents.

However then you also have stories like this. A British lady emailed me that she has the passport of Sigmund Freud and wanted to know if there is a collector’s market for it and asked me to estimate its collectors’ value. So I asked for more details and pictures, and of course, if it is a real thing, we are talking here about a serious collector value of such a significant personality.
