CA DOJ response to COE application

[Lanejsl]

I sent both my FFL 03 and COE application on the same day. Haven't heard back on the FFL but I did receive the following response from CA DOJ:

Please provide your Federal Firearms License (FFL) Type 03 Collector of Curios and Relics FFL number in the comment field. If you do not have an FFL03, please indicate the reason for wanting a COE in the comment field.

Anyone have recommendation on how I should answer? Should I just wait until I get my FFL number (assuming I'm approved)?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I would reply letting them that you don't need to supply such item.

Point them to this website:

I had the same issue. Don't try calling, nobody answers and there is no voicemail.

I emailed them and told them I was waiting for my FFL. I finally got a response back from them saying they changed my application status back to in process and they requested that I email them my FFL once I receive it

I'm hoping there is another answer other than this. We all know that telling the DOJ that the statute doesn't say this or that is a fools errand and is likely to result in my application being rejected.

Does anyone know how long their processing time is now?

I submitted my renewal earlier this month, they asked for my 03 ffl number (I gave it), still waiting....

Took 'em about 3.5 weeks for mine.

Submitted mine 10/20/2020 and I fudged it twice so it was approved 11/21/2020

Once I gave them my 03 FFL # with a copy of my current Read ID DL, my status changed to approved the same say, I think in less than an hour.

Tell them you need the COE under the provisions of to purchase ammo in state because the system may fail to recognize you through DL, alone.
