 3 follows:
 4 5. Application. The owner of each snowmobile requiring registration
 5 under this section shall present an application for registration to the
 6 commissioner, on a blank to be prepared and furnished by the commission-
 7 er for that purpose. Such application shall contain or be accompanied by
 8 such evidence of the ownership of the snowmobile described in the appli-
 9 cation as may be required by the commissioner. Where the snowmobile
