    Moving to new address? Purchasing new firearms

    I am in CA and am moving to a new address 15 min away from my current address. How does this work?

    Do I need to get a new ID? or do I need to report to the government that I am moving to a new address? Any idea how this works ? I have several firearms and need to know if they all have to come with me to my new address? or can I leave them locked in my parents home (original address).

    How does this also work with purchasing new firearms?

    Do I need to get my new ID with my current address and utility bill to prove I moved to a new address?

    What I did was get a new California real id with new address, make sure you got some bills in your name I used a cable bill and you'll be ok.

      You should probably have posted this "General" or "How laws affect me" forum. This is pretty off topic.

      I am... moving to a new address. How does this work?
      Some people walk. Some people take a car. Some people rent a moving truck.

      Do I need to get a new ID?
      No.

      do I need to report to the government that I am moving
      No, but it helps if you want to get mail.

      I have several firearms and need to know if they all have to come with me to my new address?
      You can give them to me.

      can I leave them locked in my parents home?
      Only if you are the only person who can physically access them.

      How does this also work with purchasing new firearms?
      You must provide identification and proof of your address when buying a firearm.

      Am I late in saying...? welcome to calguns.

      Edit: requirements to buy a firearm are the same regardless. Your ID must be current. Some FFLs will take an ID with a different address on it, but some will insist that it matches. Proof of address must also be current. Car registration, utility bill, fishing license, etc. It's always good to check with the FFL on what they will require/accept.

        Answered above move with them . To buy ammo you will need new d/l and docs and have at least 1 firearm registered at new address. And like posted above if you leave at parents only you can have access.
