NOVELTY - The remote license plate holder (10) has backing plate members (14,16) which are adapted for attaching a license plate (1), and a support member (30) with first end, center, and second end. A self contained electrical system includes a light source (50), switch, solar panel(40), and battery. The light source is secured to the backing plate member so that the light source illuminates the license plate. The switch is constructed and arranged to connect the battery and light source to cause illumination, and the solar panel is in electrical communication with the battery.    USE - Remote license plate holder, e.g., solar powered illuminated license plate holder for registration plate for vehicle. Uses include but are not limited to motor vehicle, watercraft, trailer, car, and truck.    ADVANTAGE - Prevents the illuminated license plate from being subjected to scraping, mutilation, or destruction since the illuminated license plate can be mounted on a watercraft while being hauled on a trailer. Provides illuminated license plate holder which utilizes simple design which can be easily and economically fabricated. Provides durable and maintenance free illuminated license plate holder even when exposed to relatively harsh conditions commonly encountered over the life of watercraft, trailer, or vehicle. Prevents the frame from obstructing the letters, numerals, printing, writing, and other identification marks on the license plate since the frame can be constructed of plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, plexiglass, and other durable and reliable material. Facilitates the charging of battery by the solar panel since the battery is disposed within the tubular member and electrically connected with the solar panel.
