Correcto

• 开出租车必须取得相关营运牌照方可上路。(Operating a taxi requires obtaining the relevant operating licence before going on the road.)
• 执法人员检查了这家餐厅的卫生许可证和营业牌照。(Enforcement officers checked the restaurant's hygiene certificate and business licence.)

Incorrecto

• 我的牌照很好看 — use 号牌 colloquially for the plate itself; 牌照 is preferred in official and administrative contexts
