SYMBOLIC NEW ALLIANCES
The members of the CA-4 Treaty (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua) adopted a common passport design in 2006. The passport features a navy-blue cover with the words ”Centroamerica” or “América Central” and a map of the region with the issuing country highlighted in gold. The new passport thus substitutes a map for four national symbols. Alliances of the Andean and Caribbean nations are following suit, adopting new common passport symbols and formats.
