A housing for a vehicle registration plate, such as a licence plate or number plate, comprises a backing member 1 adapted to removably mount the housing on a vehicle, a frame 2 to hold the registration plate in the housing, and a detachable display bar (8, figure 3). The display bar has a retention element which is inaccessible when the housing is assembled, such that a part of the housing may have to be loosened or removed, to release the display bar. The display bar may be held in place by means of the frame being secured to the backing member, and the retention element may comprise a profile (10) and tabs (9) which align with complementary features on the housing. In addition, the housing may contain a recess (17, figure 4) adjacent the frame, and a further display panel (19) adapted to detachably fit within the recess.
