Conflicting claims I've read. Do you need 2 forms of ID?
If your DL address matches your actual residence and all addresses given on forms and whatnot, you still need a secondary form of ID such as utility or car reg correct?

Only my PO Box appears on my DL; I had to prove residence address. Used
car registration.

The address on a drivers license is all you need for a long gun. That will not work for proof of address for a hand gun. You will need some other government issued proof of residency for a hand gun.

Your DL does not meet CA proof of residency for pistol purchases. It only serves as a government issued proof of residency for ATF. You will need another form of residency verification to meet CA requirements. Refer to DOJ's website for additional information. https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/dlrfaqs#14G Quote:

Correct on two forms of proof of address for handguns, just remember that it's not "some other proof," there is actually a specific list of what is acceptable.

And, more precisely, for handguns you need
Proof of Identity - driver license, ID card, military IDBut it isn't "two forms of ID" - that seemingly innocuous common usage is why this question keeps coming up. PC 26815, in relevant part: Quote:

My last rimfire rifle I purchased I was required to provide 2 forms of ID. Must've been an internal store reg.

I had a FFL in Castro Valley refuse Voter ballot as proof previously. From what I recall, it was cited that only things like Utility Bill (PG&E/Water/Disposal), Landline phone # bill, DMV registration, Cable bill, Renters Lease agreement count. Obviously it depends on the person you're dealing it as well.

The only thing I've learned from living in CA and buying guns is that EVERYONE does it differently. NO TWO LGSs (or FFLs, for that matter, when I have done a transfer) have ever asked me for the same thing, or required the same documents.

Was nice the last two pistols I bought, just a DL and CCW and was done. Nothing extra I don't normally have on me But I know its not an option for a lot of folks. |

Great Idea

That's a great option!!! My vehicle is under my business name and my wife pays all the home bills. So two proofs of residence isn't always available. I love my wife, but she doesn't quite understand my efforts to protect home and hearth. YES. I need the latest and greatest defense system!!! There's demi-crats out there!!! And they're mean and awful. And they do unspeakable things. Fortunately a deed to the home also works as a second proof of residence. |

This seems to have been left out of the quote posted by code blue
D. Current, government-issued 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:
1. The individual's current residential address as declared on the DROS form; or 2. The individual's address as it appears on his or her California Driver License, California Identification Card, or change of address attachment thereto. Examples of acceptable proof of residency:

Yep, it needed to for me. My wife has lived in her house on the farm since 1984. When I moved in in 2000, all of the utilities were in her name so I couldn't use any of it.
So I just had to get a CCW just so I could start buying handguns Dan |

And like others have said, proof of ID and proof of residency are different. |

I thought so too, I’ve always used DL and ccw without any issue. Did a ppt at a shop and they wanted another form of verification. So I printed my utility bill for them, which was weird. Then when picked up, I had to do a safety demo for them also. I thought ccw was exempt from safety demo? I guess like they say everyone got there own policy. |

My friend's utility bills were all under her husbands name, and she had to call PG&E to add her name to the bill, which required something weird like, them both being on the phone at the same time, and then it took a month or more for them to implement it, then wait for the next bill with her name.
I think there is a similar problem with people who's bills are under someone else's name (parents, roommate you are subleasing from, etc, etc)...

Since the voter registration does not have an expiration date on it (or listed period of validity), it should not work.
Gov't issued documents that will work: County sheriff issued CCW BSIS guard card, or PI license, or PPO license, or Alarm Co operator/employee card BSIS FQ Firearms Qualification Card (which also qualifies for the FSC) Real Estate License (broker or salesperson) Insurance License Stock Broker's license Medical Dr. License Daycare operator license Business license (but it probably wont match your home address) But the easiest is the DMV registration which you can get from AAA (assuming you own a car)? Can you imagine how much people would complain if we required any of this stuff to vote? |

I had a store tell me I needed a second id because my CDL has "federal limits apply" on it. I told them the CCW was fine but two days after I take the handgun home I get a call saying they need another id. I'm pretty sure they thought they needed something just in case the ca doj balks at the CDL with federal limits. They regularly have good deals so I didn't want them to blacklist me if I didn't provide something, so I sent them a pic of my passport. The whole thing was pretty lame. |
