Get your own internet account. But what address is in your ID? I think they need to match.??

[Alpha Male]

id is matched to my place at my aunts. i can get one via cox i think or att, so i can likely get a separate bill on my own

[ugimports]

What's the issue with the rental agreement? Your uncle and aunt don't want anything to do with you? That's quicker.. If you need a federal doc you can update your voter registration.

As always, check with the FFL you're going to. Regardless of what we say in this forum you can use doesn't mean the FFL will accept it.

I am going to do DROS again to get back all my firearms.

I have only a California ID with the place I am currently living at ,my aunts and a passport

So the last thing I would need is proof of residency

I do not have a car in my name or no utility bills at all. They refuse to put me on their bills i.e. electric, power, or water.

If my aunt chooses to put me on one of their utility bills, can a computer print out be suffice.

I want to do a rental agreement, however, my uncle has concerns that I am only staying there.

I am jumping through all these hoops to get back what is lawfully mine.

Please advise

Am I missing something? Who do you have to get your firearms back from?

my aunt is concerned with her mortgage insurance, she stated no one no one is renting because I am not.

will the fishing license be okay.. i plan on getting a yearly pass.

File a "change of address" from the post office. They will mail you a confirmation at that address. It's government-issued and serves as proof of address

No it doesn't for CA DOJ. It doesn't have a period of validity on it.

How is her mortgage insurance going to get a copy of the document that you hand to your FFL?

ETA: the lease agreement can be for $0. At which point even if they did get a copy of it what do they care? It's clearly not a "rental" as they expect it to be..

Get a Real ID from California DMV. Go to the DMV website and download the pdf with the Real ID requirements. Computer printouts for certain things like utility bills, cell bill, bank statements are allowed. You can start the process online. With a Real ID you shouldn't have any DROS problems.


I posted the link to the pdf.

Voter registration is State not Federal.

Voter registration is State not Federal.

He means accepted by the feds, not from them.
