^If the license is expired or the address on the license does not match the transferee's info, then it is invalid/unacceptable. [11 CCR 4045(d)(1)]

CA fishing license worked for 2nd proof.

Yes and it has to be valid when you pick up your firearm. You can get the one day fishing license for that exact purpose
