Proof of Residency Question

[Shinja]

Hello,

I saw on a few websites that a Residential Fishing License, whether its 1 day or 1 year, is a a valid form of PoR. Is that correct? I was trying to do a PPT of a handgun (i was buying) and realized I don't have anything, no vehicle registration or utilities.

Thanks!

Yes it always depends on FFL. Have to find out what they will accept.

Ya, we frown on the one day license because they come back with it and then find they have an FLA on their license and turn them away for a passport/BC and then the following day the fishing license is no good. LOL

As long the license is valid (non-expired), then it's a valid proof of residence. [11 CCR 4045(d)(1)]
^If it is expired, then it is no longer valid.


California Code of Regulations Title 11 Divison 5 Chapter 4 Article 1 Section 4045
The following definitions and requirements apply to documents intended to serve as evidence of residency for the acquisition of a handgun pursuant to Penal Code section 26845:
(d) “Other evidence of residency as permitted by the Department of Justice” means either of the following:
(1) A current, government-issued (city, county, special district, state, or federal) license, permit, or registration, other than a California Driver License or California Identification Card, that has a specified expiration date or period of validity. The license, permit, or registration must bear the individual's name and either of the following:
(A) The individual's current residential address as declared on the DROS form.
(B) The individual's address as it appears on his or her California Driver License or California Identification Card, or change of address attachment thereto.

Being that most ffls have never run across a situation where a fishing license was presented as por, odds are they will deny it purely due to it being unknown to them

Used a FL yesterday for POR..
