licensed to be troublesome surat izin biang kerok

Explanation:
If you are looking for less informal translation, "biang kerok" (=source/mother of troubles) is a good choice. Since there is no such thing as license to make trouble, then IMO, the translation would better have some sense of humor, i.e. informalities.

Complete text: dia pasti mengantongi surat izin biang kerok.

Note: mengantongi = to have something small enough to fit in your pocket, applicable e.g. for driving license, id card, etc.

She must be licensed to be troublesome.
Dia harus diperbolehkan untuk mengganggu.
Dia harus diperbolehkan untuk berbuat usil.

Konteksnya di sini mungkin, dia adalah anak-anak. Biarkan (jangan dilarang) anak-anak untuk membuat 'kekacauan', karena hal itu akan menjadikannya kreatif, selama 'kekacauan' itu masih bisa diterima dan tidak membahayakan.
