FAQS
WHAT ID IS REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A FIREARM?
Clear evidence of identity and age is defined as a valid California driver license or a valid California identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Military identification is also acceptable if accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California, but the dealer must retain copies of both documents.
If you have a “Federal Limits Apply” ID or DL, you must present proof of citizenship such as a valid passport or birth certificate.
Temporary driver licenses and temporary identification cards are not accepted forms of proof of identity and age.
WHAT IS THE WAITING PERIOD FOR A FIREARM PURCHASE?
The waiting period for the purchase of a firearm is ten (10) 24-hour periods from the date and time the DROS is accepted by DOJ, and a unique DROS number is issued.
WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS ACCEPTABLE PROOF OF RESIDENCY FOR HANDGUN PURCHASERS?
WHAT IS THE FIREARM SAFETY CERTIFICATE (FSC) REQUIREMENT?
Prior to purchasing or acquiring a firearm, unless exempted, you must have a valid Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC). You must present your FSC to the firearms dealer at the time you begin a transaction to purchase or acquire a firearm and at delivery. The dealer must maintain the documentation with the DROS paperwork for the FSC or the exemption.
REV Arms has CA DOJ Certified Instructors that can administer the test. See the following links for more information on the FSC.
