The image gallery is incomplete so far. Missing images EU passports of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Rep, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Can someone please get some good pictures for the above remaining countries.
Although the words European Union are not on them they are still EU Passports, the countries to join the EU in 2004 and 2007 have been a little slow in updating their passports, some even updated to Biometric Passports in 2006 but did not place the words European Union on the passport, none the less they are still EU passports. The Lithuanian Passport is the current new biometric one (issued from 2006 onwards), which for some reason Lithuania decided to make it green and not the standard EU color. Lithuania will be issuing newer EU style Passports late 2007/early 2008, which will have the words "European Union" and be the standard color, so as of yet, the green one is the latest and current.
Poland and Malta only started to put the words "European Union" on as of late 2006, but no pictures available, maybe someone can get some? 22:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Because the EU is trying to achieve visa mutuality with a number of countries, I think it would be worth to create a subsection in this article that deals with the issue. The EU's goal is that the passports of its member states will be equally accepted al over the world, and visa requirments will be equally applied or abolished. For exmaple, last year many Eastern and Cental European EU citizens needed to apply for a visa if they intended to spend a short period of time in Canada. This restriction did not apply to Western or Northern European EU citizens. Because of the EU policy and other factors, Canada abolished its visa requirement for all EU citizens except Romania and Bulgaria, which will come later. Due to this policy of attemting to create a uniform visa system for all EU citizens, Wikipedia should also dedicate a section to this policy.
I already wrote some about it, but since it somehow made it impossible to see the gallery, it was removed. Here it is again:
Although member states issue their own passports, the EU is has a common visa policy. It is also working to achieve visa mutuality, respective to all member states. Today, EU passport holders are allowed to visit Mexico and Panama under the same condititions. The same is true for Canada save for Bulgarian and Romanian visitors; however, the visa requirement for those countries is expected to be removed in the near future.
It is a political goal of the European Union to achieve freedom from visa requirements for citizens of the European Union at least in such countries the citizens of which may enter the Schengen area without visa. To this end, the European Commission negotiates with third-countries, the citizens of which do not require visas to enter the Schengen area for short-term stays, about the abolishment of visa requirements which exist for at least some EU member states. The European Commission involves the members state concerned into the negotiations, and has to frequently report on the mutuality situation to the European Parliament and the Council. [1] The Commission may recommend the temporary restoration of the visa requirement for nationals of the third country in question.
The European Commission has dealt with the question of mutuality of the abolishment of visa requirements towards third countries on the highest political level. With regard to Mexico and New Zealand, it already has achieved complete mutuality. With respect to Canada, the Commission considers to recommend “appropriate steps”; with respect to the U.S. it suggests to examine the effects of new legislation enacted there, but reserves itself “the right to propose retaliatory measures”.

Australia should be added to the list of Reciprocal Visa Free Countries with the EU since Passports of the EU and other ETA European Passports will get the eVisitor System on the 27th October 2008, this replaces the ETA (Electronic Ticket Authority). This should be left on Pryde 01 ( talk) 05:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Cheers mate. I understand that this culminates the EU and Australia Visa Reciprocal Agreement. But when the EU Passports and other ETA European Passports have access on the 27th October 2008 Australia should be listed on those Passports and Australia should be coloured in the Visa on Arrival Colour Pryde 01 ( talk) 22:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
I know but for other eligible Passports that have Electronic Ticket Authority Access do have Australia coloured in the "Visa on Arrival". Like the US for example: [
[1]]. Think about all the other EU and ETA Eligible Passports and how they will not have access to the ETA anymore cause eVisitor has replaced it. So I guess that someone will have to leave the VOA Colour on but change it to eVisitor on the list.
Its interesting that you dont know what your talking about Australia not being coloured as VOA. I dont agree with you. But I do agree that it does have pre visa actions, but you its a 'label free' system. Anyway it completes the EU Australia Visa Reciprocal Agreement in case you didnt know. So yes I say that Australia does be coloured as VOA. If you dont agree with me refer to these websites, then hopefully you will agree and someone will colour Australia as VOA.

Why do we need a gallery of every single passport? Why is it still here, they're against WP policy.- J.Logan` t: 12:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I did a bold WP:BRD type edit, taking what Passportguy said above, I added two of the best quality (clear scans) recent passports with distinctively different designs higher up in the article to illustrate the text that describes the design of the passports. They should be more informative up there than if buried down at the bottom. Also, since there are only two images now there's room for them to be slightly larger so the text on them is (hopefully) readable. I then replaced the gallery with a link to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Passport#Europe which (I think?) includes all the passports from the gallery here. This is a suggestion by example type edit, so feel totally free to revert/modify/discuss further. Siawase ( talk) 09:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Passports of the European Union → European Union common passport design – Relisted. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 23:35, 26 March 2012 (UTC) As the lead of this article clearly points out it is about something that doesn't exist: EU Passports. What the article is actually about is the common design of the passports issued by the member states of the European Union. Hence the proposed new title. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 12:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

The article's current name is "Passports of the European Union". Its very first sentence is: "The European Union does not issue passports" - So the current name is obviously not a good choice. It should be something like "Passports of European Union member states". 176.4.43.219 ( talk) 19:10, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Rob984 seems to have a particularly strongly held point of view that the newly introduced Irish Passport Card is really a plain, old, ordinary Identity Card masquerading under a false and thoroughly misleading name because the current Irish governement is too pusillanimous to call a spade a spade because their populace would rise up in arms if they revealed the awful truth to them. I have a degree of sympathy for this position - after all you can hammer a nail into wood with the heel of a heavy man's shoe and the Irish Passport Card is certainly a card that can be used for domestic identification purposes as well as it's primary purpose of international travel.
However, because of the sentiments expressed at Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth, until such time as authoritative and reliable sources can be found for such a point of view and in terms of writing an accurate encyclopedia that intelligently summarises and reflects current published debate within the relevant fields (in other words, an overview of the relevant literature), this is just his own original research.
Since the issuing authority of the Irish Passport Card has described it on the face of its own document as a ""PAS/PASSPORT/PASSEPORT" in three of the official languages of the EU (Irish, English and French), my editing will reflect the published authoritative sources rather than the beliefs of Rob984, however genuinely and passionately they may be held.
In practical terms this means that, until such time as these missing sources that negate the stance of the Irish governement are publicised, I will likely revert PoV pushing edits like these ones that weaken the accuracy of the article. BushelCandle ( talk) 23:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

The very first picture on the top of the article is supposed to show an example of an EU passport. The "Austrian" passport is chosen. It is not a scan or an image of the actual Austrian passport though, as can be seen in the section "Overview of passports issued by 28 Member States" under Austria.
Specifically: The word "PASSPORT" is missing under "REISEPASS". Also the font is not correct. Couldn't we just use the same picture as in the list instead of the wrong one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quetzcoatl ( talk • contribs) 09:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Ireland is still the only EU country to issue a passport in card format appears to be misleading. Maybe the text should be amended as follows: Ireland is still the only EU country to issue a passport in card format in addition to a valid passport booklet.

... because it has nothing to do with passports. The visa requirements are for citizens of that country, not for their passports. (If someone has dual nationality and thus two passports, their options for visa-free travel arise from one or other of their nationalities. Obviously they will present the relevant passport as prima facie evidence of their nationality but legally that is incidental). The "who has the most powerful passport?" is just tabloid click-bait and not encyclopedic.

Burgundy:
"A. Passport format
The passport format will be uniform. The format will be decided upon by a working party taking into account technical problems and in particular those posed by the possible insertion of a laminated card.
Should a laminated card be inserted, it should have the dimensions stated in the draft ICAO recommendation."
B. Passport cover (a) Colour : burgundy red." Can anything be found to say it was not compulsory? Croatia had an opt-out as Burgundy was the old Yugoslav colour for passports I believe.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:41981X0919&from=EN — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.200.177.1 ( talk) 15:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
It states in the lead and in the Common design features section that passport covers are burgundy red except Croatia. At least one other country's passport is a different colour namely France, which uses bordeaux red. The lead claims that the burgundy red colour is compulsory (citing a non-binding EU resolution), although immediately contradicts itself by citing the case of Croatia's blue passport. Later in the Common design features section it again contradicts the lead by listing several non-binding resolutions.
So I suggest removing or changing the lead claiming the compulsory colour. AJKGORDON «» 14:42, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Why do we need a gallery of every single passport? Why is it still here, they're against WP policy.- J.Logan` t: 12:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I did a bold WP:BRD type edit, taking what Passportguy said above, I added two of the best quality (clear scans) recent passports with distinctively different designs higher up in the article to illustrate the text that describes the design of the passports. They should be more informative up there than if buried down at the bottom. Also, since there are only two images now there's room for them to be slightly larger so the text on them is (hopefully) readable. I then replaced the gallery with a link to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Passport#Europe which (I think?) includes all the passports from the gallery here. This is a suggestion by example type edit, so feel totally free to revert/modify/discuss further. Siawase ( talk) 09:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Passports of the European Union → European Union common passport design – Relisted. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 23:35, 26 March 2012 (UTC) As the lead of this article clearly points out it is about something that doesn't exist: EU Passports. What the article is actually about is the common design of the passports issued by the member states of the European Union. Hence the proposed new title. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 12:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

From the images shown, it doesn't look like they are all burgundy. In fact, that seems to account for about half the passports. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
This needs to be talked about: The Member States may issue an emergency travel document using a EU-standard model for a single journey. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/LSU/?uri=CELEX:41996D0409 – Kaihsu ( talk) 21:42, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
The article's current name is "Passports of the European Union". Its very first sentence is: "The European Union does not issue passports" - So the current name is obviously not a good choice. It should be something like "Passports of European Union member states". 176.4.43.219 ( talk) 19:10, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Rob984 seems to have a particularly strongly held point of view that the newly introduced Irish Passport Card is really a plain, old, ordinary Identity Card masquerading under a false and thoroughly misleading name because the current Irish governement is too pusillanimous to call a spade a spade because their populace would rise up in arms if they revealed the awful truth to them. I have a degree of sympathy for this position - after all you can hammer a nail into wood with the heel of a heavy man's shoe and the Irish Passport Card is certainly a card that can be used for domestic identification purposes as well as it's primary purpose of international travel.
However, because of the sentiments expressed at Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth, until such time as authoritative and reliable sources can be found for such a point of view and in terms of writing an accurate encyclopedia that intelligently summarises and reflects current published debate within the relevant fields (in other words, an overview of the relevant literature), this is just his own original research.
Since the issuing authority of the Irish Passport Card has described it on the face of its own document as a ""PAS/PASSPORT/PASSEPORT" in three of the official languages of the EU (Irish, English and French), my editing will reflect the published authoritative sources rather than the beliefs of Rob984, however genuinely and passionately they may be held.
In practical terms this means that, until such time as these missing sources that negate the stance of the Irish governement are publicised, I will likely revert PoV pushing edits like these ones that weaken the accuracy of the article. BushelCandle ( talk) 23:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

The very first picture on the top of the article is supposed to show an example of an EU passport. The "Austrian" passport is chosen. It is not a scan or an image of the actual Austrian passport though, as can be seen in the section "Overview of passports issued by 28 Member States" under Austria.
Specifically: The word "PASSPORT" is missing under "REISEPASS". Also the font is not correct. Couldn't we just use the same picture as in the list instead of the wrong one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quetzcoatl ( talk • contribs) 09:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Ireland is still the only EU country to issue a passport in card format appears to be misleading. Maybe the text should be amended as follows: Ireland is still the only EU country to issue a passport in card format in addition to a valid passport booklet.

... because it has nothing to do with passports. The visa requirements are for citizens of that country, not for their passports. (If someone has dual nationality and thus two passports, their options for visa-free travel arise from one or other of their nationalities. Obviously they will present the relevant passport as prima facie evidence of their nationality but legally that is incidental). The "who has the most powerful passport?" is just tabloid click-bait and not encyclopedic.

Burgundy:
"A. Passport format
The passport format will be uniform. The format will be decided upon by a working party taking into account technical problems and in particular those posed by the possible insertion of a laminated card.
Should a laminated card be inserted, it should have the dimensions stated in the draft ICAO recommendation."
B. Passport cover (a) Colour : burgundy red." Can anything be found to say it was not compulsory? Croatia had an opt-out as Burgundy was the old Yugoslav colour for passports I believe.

It states in the lead and in the Common design features section that passport covers are burgundy red except Croatia. At least one other country's passport is a different colour namely France, which uses bordeaux red. The lead claims that the burgundy red colour is compulsory (citing a non-binding EU resolution), although immediately contradicts itself by citing the case of Croatia's blue passport. Later in the Common design features section it again contradicts the lead by listing several non-binding resolutions.
So I suggest removing or changing the lead claiming the compulsory colour. AJKGORDON «» 14:42, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
