motor vehicle, including the name of the insurer which
issued the policy, the policy number, and the expiration

whether the vehicle is lawfully entitled to registration
and the owner entitled to a certificate of title.
5. An affirmation by the applicant that all information
set forth is true and correct. If the application is for
the registration of a motor vehicle, the applicant also
shall affirm that the motor vehicle is insured as required
by this Code, that such insurance will be maintained
throughout the period for which the motor vehicle shall be
registered, and that neither the owner, nor any person
operating the motor vehicle with the owner's permission,
shall operate the motor vehicle unless the required
insurance is in effect. If the person signing the
affirmation is not the sole owner of the vehicle, such
person shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of all

the owners of the vehicle. If the person signing the
affirmation is not an owner of the vehicle, such person
shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of the owner or
owners of the vehicle. The lack of signature on the
application shall not in any manner exempt the owner or
owners from any provisions, requirements or penalties of
this Code.
(b) When such application refers to a new vehicle purchased
from a dealer the application shall be accompanied by a
Manufacturer's Statement of Origin from the dealer, and a
statement showing any lien retained by the dealer.
