A tamper-resistant identification plate support comprises a slotted mounting bracket and a slotted backing arranged to receive a vehicle identification plate to the backing slot. The backing and bracket are positionable so that their slots overlap to admit a fastener to fasten the backing to the bracket, so that their relative positions predetermine the location of the overlap Another such support comprises a tray with a discontinuous peripheral lip and a longitudinal ridge projecting inwardly from the lip to define a channel. When an identification plate is received in the tray, the lip substantially covers and closely conforms to at least one edge of the plate, the tray exposes at least part of a longitudinal edge of the plate not covered by the lip, and the ridge engages with the plate to constrain it within the channel. A method of securing an identification plate to a vehicle includes securing a bracket to a vehicle, positioning a backing over it so that slots in the backing and bracket overlap, fastening the backing and bracket at the slot overlap, and selecting the positions of the bracket, the back, and/or the fastening location.
