The common design has nothing to do with the EEA. Only EU passports have a common design. There is nothing notable about EEA passports collectively. Obviously they can be used to exercise a citizens right to free movement, as with any travel documentation. Rob984 ( talk) 18:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Twofortnights,
So I figure this article is suppose to be correspond with National identity cards in the European Economic Area. However when this article was created in 2012, the content was simply copied from Passports of the European Union#Use, and without attribution. Since then more content has be copied, including Passports of the European Union#Common design features, again without attribution. I wouldn't be surprised if this article meets the criteria for speedy deletion per WP:CSD:
But anyway, the common design does not apply to non-EU countries. Resolution No. 2252:
EU states have a burgundy red colour, Iceland's and Liechtenstein's are blue. EU passports are French and English. The Norwegian Passport is only in Norwegian and English. There are probably many other differences, such as the number of pages. However, all Biometric EEA/Swiss passports can be used in ePassport gates in the UK, so there must be common features, just not as expansive as for EU passports.
A big problem with this article is that anything added to this article will also be relevant at Passports of the European Union.
Also the common design and security features of national identity cards similarly only applies to EU states:
I really think we need to somehow restructure these three articles. Something like: Travel documentation in the European Economic Area, Passports of the European Union, National Identity cards of the European Union. The First article could cover the usage of passports and national ID cards throughout the EEA, which is harmonised, while the latter two could cover the common EU design.

If no one protests I will merge this article with the article about passports of the European Union for two reasons:

This article should definitely not be deleted. There is one about EU passports /info/en/?search=Passports_of_the_European_Union and one about EU candidate countries passports /info/en/?search=Passports_issued_by_the_European_Union_candidate_states. (which btw makes little sense; candidate countries passports are not bound by any EU rules regarding design, security features etc, neither do their citizens have uniform visa policy/requirements like EEA and EU citizens) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jezijezz ( talk • contribs) 10:30, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
