|
2. A description of the vehicle, including such |
information as is
required in an application for a |

rating as may be prescribed by the Secretary.
|
3. Information
relating to the
insurance policy for the |
motor vehicle, including the name of the insurer which |
issued the policy, the policy number, and the expiration |
date of the policy. Beginning with the 2016 registration |
year, registration shall not be issued to persons that |
submit an application that does not contain this |
information.
|
4. Such further information as may reasonably be |
required by the
Secretary to enable him to determine |
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. Beginning with the 2016 registration year, any |
person that knowingly submits false insurance information |
shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.
|
(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.
