§ 2225. 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 snowmobile 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 snowmobile may   file such statement and proof of the facts  as  the  commissioner  shall   require  with a fee of one dollar, with the department, for the issuance   of a duplicate or substitute.2.  Carrying  certificate.  Every  person   operating   a   snowmobile   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 snowmobile  and  shall  furnish  to   such  person  any  information  necessary for the identification of such   snowmobile 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 a snowmobile 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 fifteen 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 a snowmobile is  transferred  or  its   use  discontinued,  the  registration  portion  of  the  certificate  of   registration shall be properly signed and executed by the owner  showing   that  the  ownership  of  the snowmobile has been transferred or its use   discontinued and such certificate shall be returned  to  the  department   within  fifteen  days after such transfer or discontinuance. In the case   of transfer, the  new  owner  shall  apply  for  a  new  certificate  by   completing  an  application  for registration, using the original number   issued for such snowmobile. Such application shall be submitted  to  the   department  together with the renewal or transfer of the old certificate   of registration, properly signed by the previous owner, and the required   fee of five dollars. The renewal or transfer of the old  certificate  of   registration,  properly signed by the previous owner, shall constitute a   temporary registration for such new owner for a period determined by the   commissioner from the date such snowmobile was transferred  to  the  new   owner. In the event that such snowmobile was purchased from a registered   dealer,  the  application  must  be  accompanied  by  a  dealer's  form,   numbered, completed and signed by the dealer or his agent and signed  by   the new owner, as prescribed by the commissioner.5.  Destruction,  theft or removal from state. It shall be the duty of   every owner of a snowmobile registered pursuant  to  the  provisions  of   this  article  to notify the department, in writing, of the destruction,   theft or permanent removal of such snowmobile  from  the  state,  within   fifteen days of acquiring knowledge thereof. In the event of destruction   or theft, the certificate of registration shall be surrendered with such   notice.
