That is what RoadID is for. I have one for home, with permanent information, and one for travel (interactive) where I can adjust the information according to where I am, or where my wife/family are.

From what I understand, first responders are not looking for ID, other than med alert bracelets/dogtag types. Plus, often after a crash you are separated from your bike, and contents of jersey pockets can be ejected, or the jersey is cut off.

Other than commuting, I do not carry a license when I ride, but I always wear my RoadID.
