Intrafamilial transfer timeline during COVID?

[stateofjeffersonoutdoors]

Hi, new to the forum. Have searched extensively and haven't found anything recent. Sent in an intrafamilial transfer form in the beginning of September by mail and have not heard anything. They haven't even cashed the check yet. Does anyone know if this is normal?

Mine took 40 days to receive a reply letter and that was during non-covid days a few years ago.

I sent mine into CA DOJ via USPS on August 17, 2020. They cashed my $19 check on November 19, 2020. I called them last week and sat on hold for an hour before they answered. They person that answered took my drivers' license number, put me on hold for a minute, and then told me it was in still in process. She said they were just starting August submissions.

Why is the feedback important to you?

The OPLAW form documents a transfer that has already occurred. Your legal obligation is to file the properly-completed form with CA-DOJ - no acknowledgement required.

You might, for instance, want to list that gun on a CCW, where the issuing agency has the peculiar opinion that a gun must be listed in CA's AFS before the agency will allow the gun to be carried. (It's peculiar because the agency reports CCW info, including gun info, to CA-DOJ - effectively getting the gun info into AFS for you/them.) Waiting for the form to be processed might be useful in that situation.

But absent something like that, no need to wait for the state to run their administrative processes; you've done your part.

Im in the same boat. Family transfer on CFARS in Oct, in Dec I registered an AR pistol as a new resident and it only took a few weeks to approve yet my family transfer still has not been approved.

Should have done it online. Then you would have had instant proof of submission and receipt, and been done with it.

I transferred some guns to my son in Mid October. They just cashed the check. We dont have a letter yet.
