It's not the same. Voter ID laws in the US specifically (but not explicitly) target black and low-income demographics, who are far more likely to not have such ID documents. If having such documents was a long-standing requirement to function in society like it is in much of Europe (as far as I've heard), then it wouldn't be as big a deal.
