What do you mean by MEL?
Minimum Equipment List?

No, but I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn recently.
It took me awhile to guess that the OP was using the abreviation MEL to
mean Multi Engine Licence.
Since there is no such thing, it confused me.
Minimum Equipment List is the most common meaning for MEL and is
applicable to higher performance aircraft than the low powered single
engines.
If English not the primary language of the OP, then there is an excuse
for the faux pax.
Instead of chastising the OP (as others on this group are oft to do) I
simply asked for clarification in a not threatening manner.

Try Multi-Engine Land on for size.

SEL/SES/MEL/MES - Single Engine Land / Single Engine Sea / and so forth for
multis

Since there is no such thing, it confused me.

I just pulled my old, yellowed certificate out of hiding to check and yes it
does say "Airplane Multiengine Land" along with a section on the reverse
side labeled "Replacement of Certificate". Not a word anywhere about
license.

MEL - Multi Engine Land. As in AMEL.

No, he was referring to Multi-Engine-Land, a rating placed on
a Pilot Certificate.

I thought it meant Single Engine Land. I know mine is abbreviated PP-ASEL,
what would it be if I got a multi-rating?
