Need a hand with Proof of Residency

[Vin63]

I overheard during a transaction at another retailer that residence/hardline phone service statement/bill is not acceptable. When I asked the cashier as I was checking out with my paper targets why they no longer accept residence phone bills, she said it's because the address for the account can be set up and used and mailed elsewhere. I was in a hurry and didn't try to clarify, but I was thinking that I also have utility statements and vehicle registrations with addresses (for my business) that is mailed to another address. Is this a new standard or trend for secondary forms of residency? Just curious.

FUD.

No change, but places do sometimes make up rules.

FUD.

Check with Turners in Chino Hills. They do not accept residence phone bill as secondary proof of residency. I was just there this afternoon. I was just asking the more knowledgeable folks here if this is something I need to be aware of as a larger trend going forward, perhaps there was an update sent to FFLs since I'm not an FFL similar to sales tax updates sent from the BOE to retailers, etc. Thanks for the accusation, though. It sure makes asking about this stuff to be better informed so welcoming.

Don't take it as an accusation. I think that the response was just meant to say that it was not true and that the FUD was on the part of the FFL, not you.

What you were told was FUD. You asked a question. You are not spreading FUD. You are seeking clarification. My answer to your question is the gun shop is spreading FUD.

There isn't anything more to discuss. The gun shop is making up their own rules. You can find all of the rules here.

Off topic, but, can I get a definitive yes or no on new voter registration card for proof of residency? My girlfriend is shopping for a new 10/22 and her DL address is not current, and all utilities are in my name. We only have a copy of the lease.

I was able to convince my parents into signing a simple residential lease I found online and modified.

I appreciate all the help, all of you guys are great. I get to pick up my gun tomorrow.

I did the same thing for my first handgun

Is it a government issued document? Then yes it works for proof of residency for the Feds when your DL/ID address does not match your 4473 address.
