A registrant who has been referred to the department by a law
enforcement officer as a result of violating RSA 266:26, and who applies for a
registration with increased weight shall, upon payment of the statutory fee, be
issued a corrected certificate of registration.
The registration fee for the increased weight shall be computed
retroactively to the first month of the registrant's current registration. The registrant shall be responsible for not
carrying on the vehicle an amount in excess of the manufacturer's rated
carrying capacity of the vehicle. A
request for increased weight registration shall be submitted, in person to a
substation or authorized municipal agent or, in person or by mail, to:
The
Division of Motor Vehicles
(b)
If an applicant is able to prove to the commissioner that the vehicle
has been structurally altered to carry a heavier gross weight than at the time
of current registration, the weight increase shall be computed retroactively to
the date of alteration of the vehicle.
(c)
A registrant who applies for registration at an increased weight, other
than (a) above, shall, upon payment of the statutory fee, be issued a corrected
certificate of registration. The
registration fee for the increased weight shall be computed as of the date of
application for increased weight. A
request for increased weight registration shall be submitted, along with the

The

(d)
If a vehicle, after being weighed by any law enforcement officer, is
found to be carrying a gross weight in excess by more than 20% of the total
weight under which it was registered, the finding shall be considered prima
facie evidence that the registrant of the vehicle did not pay the proper fee
and register the vehicle for the proper amount of weight.
(e)
If any person fails to increase the registered weight of his/her vehicle
as provided by this section, and pay the required fee, the registration and
plates of the vehicle shall be suspended by the commissioner, after notice and
opportunity for a hearing in accordance with Saf-C
204.19.
(f)
The registrant shall ensure that a vehicle is not registered at a weight
in excess of the weight allowed under RSA 266:18, or a greater weight if
special modifications have been made and the increase has been approved by the
commissioner. No refund of any excess
fee shall be approved under circumstances in which a vehicle was registered at
a greater weight unless the registrant provides proof that the vehicle was
registered due to an error on the part of the department or a clerk, and that
the vehicle has not been operated at a weight in excess of the weight allowed
by law.
