Dros question about residency.

[yax]

I'm currently looking on getting getting my first shotgun. I got my FSC thinking that's all I needed. But I need proof of residency. Which I don't have. The only thing I can come up with is getting a rental agreement notarized. The thing is that my parents are renting a house.
And is this form sufficient? And if so does the landlord have to be there at the notary?

A fishing license is valid.

Usually, your DL, your car registration for a car registered in your name, and a water bill with your name on it and current address (if your DL address is not current) should cover you.

[yax]

I don't have any of those. Last choice would probably wait 3 months and get a bill under my name I guess.

I read the online thing that says a fishing or hunting license don't work

Talk in person with the FFL dealer and ask him what he needs from you in your particular case. You'll end up doing that anyway no matter what anyone advises you here.

Rental agreement does not need to be notorized. [11 CCR 4045 b.]

Under CA laws/regulations...
Proof of residency is not required for long guns, it is only required for handguns. [PC 26845]


Penal Code 26845
(a) No handgun may be delivered unless the purchaser, transferee, or person being loaned the firearm presents documentation indicating that the person is a California resident.
(b) Satisfactory documentation shall include a utility bill from within the last three months, a residential lease, a property deed, or military permanent duty station orders indicating assignment within this state, or other evidence of residency as permitted by the Department of Justice.
(c) The firearms dealer shall retain a photocopy of the documentation as proof of compliance with this requirement.

You should consider getting a CA I.D. card even if you do not drive.

[P5Ret]

You don't have a driver's license? I've never been asked for a secondary proof of residence on a long gun, did something change in the last 7 months?

The OP said he was buying a shotgun. Proof of residency is only needed for handgun purchases. From the CADOJ site:

What is the process for purchasing a firearm in California?
Generally, all firearms purchases and transfers, including private party transactions and sales at gun shows, must be made through a California licensed dealer under the Dealer’s Record of Sale (DROS) process. California law imposes a 10-day waiting period before a firearm can be released to a purchaser or transferee. A person must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun. To purchase a handgun, a person must be at least 21 years of age.

As part of the DROS process, the purchaser must present "clear evidence of identity and age" which is defined as a valid, non-expired California Driver's License or Identification Card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). A military identification accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California is also acceptable.

If the purchaser is not a U.S. Citizen, then he or she is required to demonstrate that he or she is legally within the United States by providing the firearms dealer with documentation containing his/her Alien Registration Number or I-94 Number.

Purchasers of handguns must provide proof of California residency, such as a utility bill, residential lease, property deed, or government-issued identification (other than a drivers license or other DMV-issued identification), and either (1) possess a Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) plus successfully complete a safety demonstration with their recently purchased handgun or (2) qualify for an HSC exemption.

The rancho magnum range asked me for a second proof. Which was a car registration or bill.

Sigh.

That's not a legal requirement for long guns (yet).

However, the shop can require a few things beyond what the law requires. No legal penalty if you don't comply, but you won't buy a gun there if you don't.

Find another FFL. Scratch that one off your list. Secondary proof of residency not required for long guns.
