The Canadian government has just announced that pilot and
mechanic's licenses will be issued in a form similar to a passport
booklet, complete with picture and other security features, and
separate pages for various ratings or whatever. Everyone should have
one by mid-2008, IIRC. We've had the plastic AME license for some time
now. Pilot licenses are still paper.
But that booklet isn't going to fit in my wallet. More stuff to
pack around separately :-(
