Most states nowadays dont need to put it on the Registration... most RMV/DMVs have VIN access and are tied to the NHSTA info... couple minutes and they know what your vehicle is rated for from the factory... all the better to them if you say you "upgraded" the capacity... thats a dinner bell.
If you are examined by State DOT, rest assured that they will porta scale you if they remotely think you are over-weight. Here in Massachusetts, the Mass State Police have DOT units, tasked specifically with doing exactly this... They are easily identified by their Black para-military uniforms (and some vehicles too) vs the typical M.S.P. "Blue and Gray".
