A system for selectively extending and retracting a license plate holder includes a housing defining a slide rail attachable to a vehicle. A motor selectively rotates a threaded driver extending through first and second sliders within the housing a first or second rotational direction so as to move the first and second sliders within the housing. As the first and second sliders are moved within the housing, a license plate mount pivotally attached to the first slider is extended from under the vehicle or retracted beneath the vehicle.
