EASA licences aren't on little photocards, they are in a passport sized wallet (albeit 5 times as thick!) and is simply 2 A4 pages (license and medical) with the required info on and the odd TREs signature. There is no photograph. How are american licenses signed? Do you have a counterpart?
Mine never leaves my flight case except from the occasioanl sim revalidation or medical, although I generally take one of my company IDs with me on holiday. I think a photocard license in Europe would be sensible (minus Orville and Wilbur, Frank Whittle perhaps?). My best friend is a train driver and his train license (UK) looks identical to an EU driving license, therefore arranged in a very familiar format.
Not my photo...
