§ 2285. Certificate  of  registration. 1. Certificate. Upon the filing   of the application and payment of the fee as provided in  this  article,   the  commissioner  shall  assign  to such ATV a distinctive number, and,   without further  expense  to  the  applicant,  issue  a  certificate  of   registration,  in  such  manner  and  form  as  the  commissioner  shall   prescribe. In the event of the loss, mutilation or  destruction  of  any   certificate  of  registration,  the owner of the registered ATV may file   such statement and proof of the facts as the commissioner shall  require   with  a fee of three dollars, with the department, for the issuance of a   duplicate or substitute.2. Carrying certificate. Every person operating an ATV  registered  in   accordance with any of the provisions of this article shall, upon demand   of any magistrate, police officer or peace officer, when acting pursuant   to  his  special  duties,  produce  for  inspection  the  certificate of   registration  for  such  ATV  and  shall  furnish  to  such  person  any   information  necessary for the identification of such ATV and its owner.   The failure to produce  the  certificate  of  registration  as  provided   herein  shall  not  be  an offense, but shall be presumptive evidence of   operating an ATV which is not registered as required by this article.3. Change of residence. It shall be the duty of every owner holding  a   certificate of registration to notify the department, in writing, of any   change  of  residence  of  such  owner within ten days after such change   occurs, and to inscribe on such certificate, in  the  place  provided  a   record of such change of residence.4.   Change   of  ownership.  Whenever  an  ATV  is  transferred,  the   certificate of registration shall be properly signed and executed by the   owner showing that the ownership of the ATV  has  been  transferred  and   such  certificate  shall  be  given  to  the  new  owner. In the case of   transfer, except a transfer to a registered dealer, the new owner  shall   apply   for   a   new  certificate  by  completing  an  application  for   registration. Such application shall  be  submitted  to  the  department   together  with  old  certificate of registration, properly signed by the   previous owner, and the required fee of ten dollars. The old certificate   of registration, properly signed by the previous owner or other  indicia   as  prescribed  by  regulation  of  the commissioner, shall constitute a   temporary registration for such new owner for a period determined by the   commissioner from the date such ATV was transferred to the new owner. In   the event that such ATV was purchased  from  a  registered  dealer,  the   application  must  be accompanied by the old certificate of registration   transferred to the dealer, the required fee, and by any other  forms  or   documents completed and submitted as prescribed by the commissioner.5.  Destruction,  theft or removal from state. It shall be the duty of   every owner of an ATV registered pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this   article  to notify the department, in writing, of the destruction, theft   or permanent removal of such ATV from the state, within fifteen days  of   acquiring  knowledge  thereof. In the event of destruction or theft, the   certificate or registration shall be surrendered with such notice.
