Dear @Drumstick21 feel free to change my editing if you like, don't worry, but I suggest you double check before re-editing back:

1) "for entry by countries" is wrong. Instead, you can use "to enter countries" or "for entering countries" without prepositions, or if you like the word "entry" you can say: "for entry to countries". They all means the same thing! If you use the preposition "by", it implies an action (i.e. entry to a country by showing a passport at the border control) or through something (i.e. entry to a country by the border control). Check it out with the Cambridge dictionary here [1] and on the UK official websites here [2] and here [3]. So I'm fixing this error again.

2) The use of the modal verb "may" is the formal way to say that an authority give you the chance to get something. It's just more formal and it doesn't change the meaning. Anyway I'm not insert it again, as it's optional and not relevant.

3) Please don't use too many acronyms meaning the same thing too many times. "EEA + Switzerland" or "EU+ EFTA" are already the whole set of countries with freedom of movement. The Nordic countries are included, so there's no need to specify. The only additional info, which is really important, is the Nordic Passport Union and is already cited more than one time.

4) I suggest you rename the "history" chapter of eID with something different (like "origin and development" or so) or just remove the chapter and insert the history into the main eID chapter to avoid confusion with the history of the icelandic identity card below.

Thanks @Kroby36. I agree on point 4), I changed it.

I thought to include them as EEA and EFTA is not necessarily very well known or understood by a lot of people. I just added them for clarification that the EEA includes the EU (which more people are aware of). But I agree, the acronym overload can be a bit excessive.
