Explanation:
Although I mostly agree with the previous answer, I wonder if "ou" and ":" are missing from your term, as "permis de circulation ou plaque: GE"

Of course the former enable you to have the latter.

drivers licence, number plate GE.


Explanation:
as much as i agree with number plates of the previous answers, i believe permit is a drivers licence.
Exp: just a suggestion. Number plates are sometimes written as “plaque de police”. Plaque GE could then be an abbreviation of this since the loss of vehicle documents and all connected ones would have to be reported to the police, therefore the abbreviation would be assumed to be understood by whoever or whosoever, and GE could refer to a classification system of vehicles? Uhm?
