submit to the Director the certificate of registration, and the Director shall record in the register the change or alteration and issue a new certificate of registration to the new owner of the vehicle.
Subject to subsection (1B), the Director shall not record the change in ownership or issue a new certificate of registration if the registered owner of the vehicle is liable for and has failed to pay arrears of fees in respect of the vehicle or a fine imposed for an offence under this Act.
The registered owner of a vehicle may apply to the court for an order approving the change of ownership or alteration in the particulars of the vehicle, notwithstanding the owner's failure to pay arrears of fees or a fine, and on receiving such order from the court, the Director shall record the change and issue a new certificate of registration to the new owner of the vehicle.

The Director may call upon an owner of a vehicle to furnish information for the verification of the entries in the register relating to that vehicle.
A registered owner of a vehicle who fails to furnish information requested under subsection (3) commits an offence.
