Permission slip from the government, priced accordingly.
means Official permission to do something that would otherwise be restricted or illegal, usually granted after paying a fee or meeting requirements.
from From Latin 'licentia' meaning freedom or liberty to act, rooted in the verb 'licere' — 'to be permitted' or 'to be allowed.' It passed through Old French 'licence' before settling into English by the 14th century, originally covering any granted permission before narrowing toward its modern bureaucratic sense of state-issued permits and paperwork.
