TheAndean passport is apassport forSouth Americancountries that are members of theAndean Community of Nations (ACN).
The Andean passport was created in June 2001 pursuant to ACN Decisión 504. This passport is based on a standard model containing harmonised features of nomenclature and security based on the recommendations of theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
