DSL Bill qualify as "utility bill"?

you got lucky with a cell phone bill. CADOJ has stated that they are not acceptable since anybody can put down any address they want and still get a cell phone.

I was more surprised about the expired motorcycle registration, really, but I didn't realize it until after I had left the shop (I never put the new one in my wallet) and the FFL at that particular shop knows me as a regular.

Frank,
You may want to check with your FFL before you start the paperwork. I know of more than one FFL that flat out refuse to accept utility bills for proof of residency. These particular FFLs will only accept government issued sources, DL, DMV registration, etc.

The best thing to use for proof of California residency is your car registration! That is what I use and have never had a problem with it!

that works if the car registration is in your name. The OP's car is not in his name, and some people drive company cars. So, they have to work on alternate POR's.

I can see how that is a problem! Another source of proof is a mortgage bill or rental agreement, however, this will only work if you have them in your name!

oh i have my CA DL. from what i understand, i need my DL AND some sort of utility bill that confirms i am at the address on my license.

i can get the car in my name but that would take quite a bit of time as i'm pretty sure a temporary document from the DMV would not be acceptable.

just call your FFL and see what he will accept before you go about doing extra stuff. And if that FFL won't accept the DSL bill, others in your local area may.
