Spanish term or phrase: Fecha Exp. Lic. TTO
Colombian Vehicle Registration (Licencia de Tránsito) document: I'm guessing it's a renewal date? There's a "Fecha matrícula" followed by a "Fecha Exp. Lic. TTO", then the "Fecha vencimiento". My best guess is "Vehicle Registration Issue Date".

English translation:road licence/registration document issue date
Explanation:
As Jane's second reference shows, this is a document giving details of the vehicle, its owner, and the fact that it's authorised to use the roads. It's not a driver's licence, which relates to an individual, not a vehicle.

Fecha expedición means issue date, and TTO is tránsito.

Matrícula means registration, so first they register the vehicle on their system, and then they send out this document.

Explanation:
I am fairly sure TTO refers to Transito, it is used in this document

https://www.mintransporte.gov.co/descargar.php?idFile=6412

And if you look here it seems that 'transito' just refers to a normal driving licence and doesn't seem to refer to 'transit' of any kind.

Las licencias de tránsito son documentos públicos que contienen los datos que identifican a un vehículo automotor, acreditan su propiedad y autorizan a ese vehículo para circular por las vías del territorio nacional.

How about this?
Colombia’s RUNT System
The RUNT system is national database used Colombia. It is used to manage data about a driver and their driving history as well as owners of cars. There is no cost involved in getting registered in the RUNT system.

The RUNT records information about your driver’s license such as type and class license, date of issue, expiration date and temporary or partial suspensions. Information about driver’s medical exams are also included.

The RUNT system also keeps track of fines, subpoenas or other traffic violations committed by drivers. It also keeps track of a number of other things including whether tax payments for your vehicle are up to date.

To get registered in the RUNT system I needed to get a number and wait for my number to be called on a monitor. This took me about 10 minutes. I provided my cedula and they scanned my fingerprints and took my photo and I was done – a very simple process.

neutral  philgoddard: But your second reference has nothing to do with driving licences. That's 'licencia de conducción" http://medellinliving.com/colombian-drivers-license/

agree  Charles Davis: Yes: the licencia de conducción licenses the driver to drive and the licencia de tránsito (aka tarjeta de propiedad) identifies the vehicle. "Registration document" is the nearest equivelent, I think.

  -> Yes, I just said licence because that's what the Spanish says.

agree  Jane Martin: Yes Phil you are right. I won't withdraw my answer as the reference might be useful.
