The only thing i would care about is that you could get a new one issued easily in whichever EU state you are, rather than having to go back to where you first got it. I am surprised that stuff isn’t standardized yet, because to me my license looks as standardized as my ID-card
I had a Swedish (I’m not swedish, but my first EU style license was issued there) license in NYC and had it renewed through the consulate with laughable little hassle. When I moved to UK (pre-Brexit), again, the swap was smooth. I religiously believe that when I move back to EU, I’ll be able to get an EU license back (unless I hit an age trigger). I actually think the current EU license is awesome. I don’t dispute the underlying criteria for issuing could be improved, but post-issue, it’s pretty great today.
That must be country specific. Some countries allow renewing your licence where you live.
