Portuguese term or phrase: dístico
"Verificar se o veículo está credenciado para aceder as áreas restritas através de dístico de acesso aeroportuário ou de cartão de livre-trânsito específico, confrontando se a matrícula do veículo corresponde com a registada no dístico;"

How can I translate "dístico" please?
Porto Editora defines
dístico
substantivo masculino
1. estância de dois versos que formam sentido completo;
2. letreiro; rótulo;
3. HERÁLDICA divisa de um escudo;

but I can't think what would be the best EN-UK translation...
Such stuff on cars is usually round and "disc" would do, perhaps...but, but, but...
Help much appreaciated.
