Stuart Boyd was not happy (Picture: MEN)

No, that’s not Adolf Hitler in the passport picture, it’s just a poor guy who resembles him.

But Stuart Boyd doesn’t look anything like the former Nazi leader in real life so he was confused when he received his new credentials.

‘I was really angry when I saw it. I was distraught, really,’ the 50-year-old from Salford, Manchester, said.

‘I just thought, “Oh, for God’s sake, I have to have this for ten years and they can’t even get it right.”


‘I wasn’t really sure of the process of how to change it so I posted a picture of it on Facebook.’

Does he look like Adolf Hitler (Picture: MEN)

Mr Boyd had ordered his passport on May 22 after booking a holiday with friends to the Greek island of Rhodes next month.

The document arrived a week later, but the former paramedic was dismayed to find his reproduced photograph made it look like he had the menacing toothbrush moustache of Hitler.

His sister Angie Boyd thought the passport picture was hilarious.

‘She just started laughing, she said to me, “oh come on, you’ve got to see the funny side,” then I did see the funny side. My friends and colleagues think it’s hilarious,’ he added.

And before you guys start with your jokes just bear in mind ‘That is Heil-arious!’ and ‘what’s the problem? It looks al-Reich to me,’ have already been used by his Facebook friends.

After explaining the issue to the Passport Office, he was told it hadn’t intentionally made him look like Hitler and he should send the passport back so it could issue a new one.

A spokesman for Her Majesty’s Passport Office said: ‘All UK passports are carefully created and checked to exacting standards before they are issued.

‘We will be contacting him to investigate this case further.’
