Hey all, I’d just like to post this for informational purposes. For the assault weapon registration, 80% made firearms need a unique serial number from the DOJ engraved.
I submitted request for 6 firearms, 2 of which has been vol reg’d and the other 4 were engraved per ATF spec.
I mailed out the form but I also submitted scanned copies via email to DOJSerialNumber@doj.ca.gov
I have received a response this morning via replied email.
Here is what it says:

This email acknowledges that the California Department of Justice (the Department), Bureau of Firearms (the Bureau) has approved your New Serial Number Application. A unique serial number for each firearm listed on your application is noted below:
Unfortunately, pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 11, section 5474.2, we are unable to use a customized serial number that may have been engraved on your firearm. The serial number must be one that is assigned by the Department of Justice. It is not required to remove the customized serial number that you have engraved on your firearm nor is it required to label each engraved serial number.
Upon receipt of this serial number(s), you may contact a Federal Firearms Licensed Manufacturer (type 07) to have your Department issued serial number applied in a manner consistent with the requirements outlined in the California Code of Regulations, title 11, section 5474.2.
A Federal Firearms Licensee is under no obligation to perform this work. A person that has manufactured their own firearm may also use non licensed parties to apply the serial number and other required markings, however, the owner of the weapon must not leave the firearm unattended with an unlicensed party because of firearm transfer and/or lending laws.
For assault weapons registration pursuant to Penal Code section 30900(b), proof of the serial number being applied to the firearm shall be provided to the Department in the form of digital photographs of the newly serialized firearms. Photos are to be submitted online using the Department’s California Firearms Application Reporting System (“CFARS”) at the time of registration, pursuant to California Penal Code section 30900(b)(1) and California Code of Regulations, title 11, section 5474(c).
Please note that receiving and applying a serial number(s) does NOT register your firearms as an assault weapon and you will still need to complete that process through the Department’s California Firearms Application Reporting System (CFARS). In accordance with Penal Code section 30900(b)(1), if you plan to register an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine (bullet button), you must do so by Saturday, June 30th 2018.
When registering your self-built firearm, enter the DOJ assigned serial number in the “serial number” field. If you have a self-created and/or previously assigned serial number, enter it in the “other number field.” For “Make,” select “U S” from the dropdown menu; then, in the comments section, enter the “Make” approved in this application (i.e. your FIRST & LAST NAME).
If you have any questions, contact the Bureau of Firearms at dojserialnumber@doj.ca.gov.
