This invention relates to registration plates suitable for use on vehicles, specifically registration plates adapted to show evidence of tampering. A vehicle number plate assembly according to the invention comprises a first layer 2 comprising a first portion (4, fig 2) coloured with a first colour and a second portion (6, fig 2) comprising indicia coloured with a second colour on a surface 10, the indicia providing a vehicle identification number; a second intermediate layer 12, adhering 14 with a first strength to the first layer; and a third layer 22 through which the first and second layers are visible, wherein an adhesive layer 24 of a second strength between the second layer and the third layer, the second strength being greater than the first strength such that removal of the third layer causes removal of the second layer from the first layer. This has as an advantage that the exposed adhesive will record forensic evidence such as for example fingerprints, fibres and DNA. Double sided acrylic foam tape 32 may be provided to adhere a first surface 8 to a security backing plate 40.
