The Picard scheme of a smooth curve and a smooth complex variety is reduced. In this note we discuss which classes of surfaces in terms of the Enriques-Kodaira classification can have non-reduced Picard schemes and whether there are restrictions on the characteristic of the ground field. It turns out that non-reduced Picard schemes are uncommon in Kodaira dimension $\kappa\leq0$, that this phenomenon can be bounded for $\kappa=2$ (general type) and that it is as bad as can be in $\kappa=1$.
