AW Registration Guide **3/18/2021 update: Registration may re-open soon**

So how long does the registration take? Mine has been "in progress" for about a month now... WTF?

Wow! DOJ apparently banned my work IP address from accessing the CFARS.doj.ca.gov .
Can access it on mobile (with wi-fi turned off), can't on same device through work wi-fi or from desktop.

Was able to access it couple days ago.

Most likely your work banned DOJ website.

Just got an email from CRPA saying that exact date, name and address of person or business acquired from is not required.

Well ****, I just realized I submitted one of mine with the wrong firearm origin. Now what?

Always put the same acquisition date that the primary registrant put on theirs.

But "acquired from" will be different - they'll select "family member" and write the primary applicant's name, instead of the FFL info that the primary applicant wrote.

OK. Does it matter if the co-registrant would have been a minor at that date? Co-registrant is ~21 now but would have been ~16 around the acquire date.

I didn't see the email - Did they say why? Did DOJ recently change their position on this or something? Because up until now, DOJ has been adamant that we need to put precise, accurate information in those sections, and they've been bouncing back apps that fail to do so.

No problem, that's fine.

Ok I just read the email. It doesn't exactly say that we don't need to put exact information. It says that one person was able to convince DOJ to accept their best estimates, after some back-and-forth, but specifically says that we shouldn't count on that always being the case.

In any case, if you don't put the exact (and correct) info for a post-2014 firearm, expect it to get bounced back.

While this issue was resolved for the plaintiff in Rupp, gun owners attempting to register a firearm should be aware that this solution may not work for everyone.

^That part is important.

DOJ will almost certainly bounce back any post-2014 firearms where the information isn't accurate, and we should NOT count on them working with us and eventually accepting our guesstimates.

The best strategy is still to find the accurate info using whatever means you can.

Anyone remember date when SSE ended? (Tracy Rifle and Pistol is defunct)

SSE-1 I believe ended Jan 1, 2015

I am in control of the firewall at work.

I PPTd a completed 80% rifle to my fiance.

is my fiance able to register this as an AW without a DOJ issued serial number since it was registered to her about 2 years ago through PPT?

I’ve been waiting over 5 months for my 2 rifles to be approved. Waited 90 days and then called and was told she didn’t see anything wrong and that I’d have to wait 120 days and then call back. Waited 120 days with no change and called in and was told to submit an issue via the website. I did and was told they were trying to get the manufacturer added to the drop down list. Waited another 5 weeks and asked again when I could expect the make to be added and was told there was no time line available and I’d be contacted when it was added. Weeks later still nothing. Checked the drop down and it’s still not there. Almost 6 months because they can’t add a manufacturer to the drop down box! Nothing crazy about the rifles. Bought through a local shop in 2016. Did a co registration with my wife as secondary. Nothing on hers of course either.

Same exact problem here. And same exact responses from DOJ when I've asked them about it.

All my applications for all my guns are sitting in Purgatory indefinitely while they figure out how to add one manufacturer to their list. About to start month 4 of my waiting.

In the time it's taken them to deal with my queries about the status, they could've just added my manufacturer to the stupid list.

They told me the same thing about "I'll be contacted when the manufacturer has been added", but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
