Default Need a hand with Proof of Residency

So all I was able to find was a W-2 form and a bank statement, and after some searching found out that these are not acceptable forms of proof. I don't have my name tied to any type of vehicle registration or utility bills. I am not able to draw up a rental agreement with my parents (who own the residence) because they do not support my decision to get a handgun (not because they hate guns or don't trust me with one, it is more a financial situation).

So I was wondering what my options were, is there some sort of form I can get a print out of with proof at a DMV?

I am also a student/employee of a California State University if it makes any difference. And AAA member, I mention this because I have read stories of other Calguns members getting proof through them.

You need a government issued document with an expiration date. I would suggest getting a hunting or fishing license.

Your pay stub from the state would work for a long gun, but you need an expiration date for the state proof of residency requirement.

Your parents still manage your finances at the age of 21 or older? Or do you owe them money and they don't like going to the back of the line?

It's more a situation where they suggest I put money into savings account for rainy days or my last year of college.(A very firm suggestion, even though I already have some funds allocated.)

I read somewhere that it is also possible to use a driving record print out from the DMV, but I'm not entirely sure that the print out comes with an address.

The hunting license seems like a good idea, but I'll try and find out about that DMV printout first as that seems to be the least amount of effort and cost.


Edit: Double checked the form I received from the FFL dealer, Hunting and Fishing licences do not count as proof.

Where did you find the "expiration" requirement?

The DOJ FAQ says:

Government-issued (city, county, special district, state or federal) documentation that has all of the following - - This does not include a drivers license or DMV-issued ID card:
The name of the transferee as it appears on the transferee's CDL or CID.
The name of the transferee as the transferee declares on the DROS form.
The residential address of the transferee as it appears on the transferee's CDL or CID or the address update attachment to the driver's license/identification card.
The residential address of the transferee as the transferee declares on the DROS form.

Young buyers are often in this situation where parents disapprove. I accepted a sample ballot for one transaction. I just want to be able to show that it was something within the last 90 days like for utility bills.

My W-2 was issued by a CSU(a state agency), as a vendor would you accept something like this?

Not sure which FAQ you are on, but here is the one I am on. http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/dlrfaqs#33G
Quote:
Current, government-issued license, permit, or registration, other than a CA Driver License or CA Identification Card, that has a specified expiration date or period of validity. The license, permit, or registration must bear the individual's name and either of the following:
The individual's current residential address as declared on the Dealer's Record of Sale (DROS) form
or

The individual's address as it appears on his or her California Driver License or California Identification Card, or change of address attachment thereto.
Examples of acceptable proof of residency:

Current DMV registrations.
Electricity, gas, cable bill with purchaser's name onit from within the last 3 months.
Signed, dated and notarized rental agreement/contract.
Examples of documents that are NOT acceptable proof of residency:

Hunting or fishing license (these documents are not issued by the government).
Cellular phone bill.
Yes they say a hunting or fishing license won't work, but now that the DFG is on the automated system, the DOJ has stated they will take it. Your FFL might not agree.

DMV printout does not have a period of validity nor expiration date.

We just had a DOJ inspection last week and the DOJ inspector told us that a fishing license does not count anymore even if it is printed out because the system that is used to issue the license just pulls the address from their DMV issued license. We specifically asked about this scenario.

You have a drivers license? Get a state ID.

You only have a state ID? Get a drivers license.

Drivers license and/or State ID do not work as proof of residency.

However that is not necessarily true. We can edit the system!

I had them tell me on the phone it was legit so I am using it. We could also argue they ordered it online and had it sent to them. That most certainly is a government issued document with an expiration date.

I wonder if we should start working on getting a definitive answer on this or if not having a definitive answer works better for us.

It will not cause an issue. You have the correct documentation to be the buyer and even a seller (even though no correction is necessary) on a PPT.

If you look at most government documents, the address comes from your DMV ID/DL, so it is all a bit of a bad joke. I heard that the reason why a DL/ID is not acceptable is because some people live in NV, but work in CA and need a CA DL. The DL should show the NV residence address though, so that really does not make sense. This issue also is only for handguns.

The only reason to push the issue is to see if you can get the DOJ to understand that a CA DL/ID should be acceptable proof of residency.

Proof of residency is required to get a CA DL/ID, are you having problems finding that
documentation?

Or do your parents have it locked up and you are looking for a work around?

I was able to convince my parents into signing a simple residential lease I found online and modified.

I appreciate all the help, all of you guys are great. I get to pick up my gun tomorrow.

DOJ OAG site has a list of approved Proof of Residency documents: http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/resprf but does not state the codes. "Under Bureau of Firearms policy and soon to be proposed in regulations, firearms dealers may accept any of the following:"

They are wrong, but not in the way that you might think. If your ID does not have your current residence address, the Feds require a government document with your residence address on it. For CA, the others are ok.

It is a requirement from CA & Feds., so it is not just a store policy (although their store policy is wrong).

As a side note, it is not a second proof of residency, it is a proof of residence since CA does not accept a CA ID/DL as proof of residency for handguns.

they are wrong, your current car registration with your current street address on it is all you legally need to comply with CA and federal law.

[QUOTE=tenpercentfirearms;10633863]Not sure which FAQ you are on, but here is the one I am on. http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/dlrfaqs#33G


http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/resprf

Different page. Different info.

The one you quote says "license, permit, or registration" WITH expiration date.

The page I'm quoting simply says "government issued documentation" and has no expiration requirement.

Which is correct?

Why does DOJ put bad info in their FAQ's? Any reasonable person would assume guidelines given in an official FAQ would be supported by actual law.

I guess I better print out both FAQ's and I hope I don't have to use them in an audit...

Figure I might as well ask here since the FFLs all seem to be here too. I am running into a similar problem. Car and home are registered in my girlfriends name (she got a better rate through her credit union than we could together), and while I am "on" the utilities, the only one I have that displays my name when sent is the water bill.

Last week I brought my DL and water bill with for my purchase last week and my FFL said I need something else and listed a bunch of bills or car registration which of course I don't have. Since my license displayed my previous address (we moved a month ago), would getting an updated license from the DMV work or do I really need to find some other bill?

Thanks guys!

Who is going to force them to be accurate?

Water bill is good for the state, but only good for Fed if your bill is from a municipality. Cal water for example is a private company. You need a government issued document since your license does not bear your current address.

Not to put too sharp a point on it, but this is YOUR business. You're supposed to know this crap.

Just so you know, the Penal Code citations on the DOJ BOF site are the old code sections which were changed two years ago.
This is also on their website, and is out of date:
http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/ag...s/Cfl2007.pdf?

Good luck with documenting your compliance with statutes based your reliance with these DOJ Internet FAQs. Now that you've identified a conflict between entries, your defense of innocent reliance is gone.

Best.

So how does a person who doesn't have a permanent residence obtain a handgun? Gypsies are screwed or what?

Never thought about it before now.. but how does one have to have residency in order to exercise a right?

Ok, since quite a while i use my Calif Real Estate Brokers licence (govt issued, expiration date, my name and address appearing). It is a perfect document, as is any other similar professional licence--State Bar, Accounting, Medical, Architecural, Pest Control, etc)

2. I have used a new, current Social Security statement. I went to an SS office, got a current printout of my benefits and took that in also. In light of having the RE licence the SS statement would be redundant.

3. I have used an IRS Estimated Tax Statement which many of us get every year in the mail--(again, govt issued, name and address appearing, dated within 90 days of the purchase).

4. If a person doesnt own the place where they live and have no rental agreement, a signed letter from the owner that you live there, accompanied by a copy of the Grant Deed also works.

These alternatives arent on the list of usual suspects but they meet the guideline so they are acceptable.

I overheard during a transaction at another retailer that residence/hardline phone service statement/bill is not acceptable. When I asked the cashier as I was checking out with my paper targets why they no longer accept residence phone bills, she said it's because the address for the account can be set up and used and mailed elsewhere. I was in a hurry and didn't try to clarify, but I was thinking that I also have utility statements and vehicle registrations with addresses (for my business) that is mailed to another address. Is this a new standard or trend for secondary forms of residency? Just curious.

No change, but places do sometimes make up rules.

It sure makes asking about this stuff to be better informed so welcoming.

Don't take it as an accusation. I think that the response was just meant to say that it was not true and that the FUD was on the part of the FFL, not you.

What you were told was FUD. You asked a question. You are not spreading FUD. You are seeking clarification. My answer to your question is the gun shop is spreading FUD.

There isn't anything more to discuss. The gun shop is making up their own rules. You can find all of the rules here.

Off topic, but, can I get a definitive yes or no on new voter registration card for proof of residency? My girlfriend is shopping for a new 10/22 and her DL address is not current, and all utilities are in my name. We only have a copy of the lease.

Is it a government issued document? Then yes it works for proof of residency for the Feds when your DL/ID address does not match your 4473 address.
