Using old address to purchase firearm?

[scoutsniper687]

Im getting tired of changing my address....my ID and my registration have my last address from where i moved back in october. Id have to go to the dmv and change the address which could take awhile and miss the deal. Anyone used there last address with no problems before?

I'm in the same boat. I just DROS'd at Gusslers this past Thursday cause my ID and my registration is the old address. I think it'll be fine but lets see. 8 days to go.

I've done it twice before with no problems

[scoutsniper687]

Sweet, let me know how that goes fighter.

I just did it with no hassle.

[scoutsniper687]

Perfect. Thank you gentleman.....i hate going to the dmv as im sure any sane person would.

When I was working for an FFL, next to expired licenses, the most common reason a DROS was rejected was the address didn't match the address of record at the DMV.

(It used to take at 3 - 4 days for a dealer to get notice from DOJ about not releasing the gun.)

not to rain on anyone's parade, but the 4473 asks for your current address... pretty plain and simple.

if you don't follow directions don't advertise it on a public forum

[scoutsniper687]

yes maam! Im gonna call turners tomorrow and see how long the deals going for if for awhile im going to go change my address...need to anyway otherwise my registration in a few months is gonna get sent to my last address. Thank you all.

I recently went through this hassle again. FYI, requesting a new registration card with my new address took SIX weeks to come. I ended up going to the DMV and getting the brown change of address card that they stamp. They just gave it to me and stamped the date at the walk up, check-in window. A lot of places (like Turners) will require that change of address card from the DMV rather than an online change of address from the DMV website.

I had to show my car registration at turners when my CA DL was the old address. No problem.

isn't there something to the extent of "under the penalty of perjury" for the signature on the 4473?

[Either/Or]

The inconsistency amongst stores is a little frustrating. My current residence doesn't match my DL and one dealer only wanted a recent utility bill (reasonable in my mind) the other required something from the state (I had a piece of tax paperwork that they accepted). It seems to me the latter is a bit much.

I don't think FFLs can accept the brown change of address cards as valid proof of residence anymore. At least that's what they told me.

If the utility bill was government-issued then no problem.

Form 4473 Instructions:
Question 20.b. Alternate Documentation: Licensees may accept a combination of valid government-issued documents to satisfy the identification document requirements of the law. The required valid government-issued photo identification document bearing the name, photograph, date of birth of transferee may be supplemented by another valid government-issued document showing the transferee's residence address...
