Do any countries share passport info of all its citizens? [closed]

Curious how "global" passports really are, even just the minute they are made, regardless if the passport holder travels or not!

Are there countries that have an agreement with each other that they share all the country's citizens' passport info with another country?

I have a feeling maybe within EU they do this because EU is kinda like one big schengen group? Are there other countries that do this?

Do EU countries share immigration information?

All Schengen countries share visa information through VIS. Denmark has also chosen to implement VIS. The central VIS system is linked to national systems, allowing Schengen states to exchange data.

Can you freely cross borders in Europe?

Free movement of persons enables every EU citizen to travel, work and live in an EU country without special formalities. Schengen underpins this freedom by enabling citizens to move around the Schengen Area without being subject to border checks.
