Abstract: A license plate holding apparatus for securing a license plate on an automobile. The apparatus comprises a holder which is attached to the bumper. The holder has openings at each end, (left and right) where a screw may be secured. Tabs slide along a track in connection with each aperture. The tabs have a smaller opening than the aperture which enable the screw to be secured to the tab. The tabs are spring biased toward the openings so that each tab is in the left and right openings when in the normal position. The tabs are connected by a wire to a central pull ring located in the middle of the holder. The pull ring may be pulled out in order to pull the tabs along the track and away from the openings. This allows the screw to be detached from the openings in order to remove the license plate.
