Documents You Need To Purchase a Firearm

---

 To purchase a firearm, you will need both:

• Valid California Driver's License/valid California ID
• Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC)

And one of the following:

• Rental or lease agreement
• Automobile registration
• Utility bill within the last 3 months
• Property deed
• Signed, dated, and notarized rental agreement or contract

To obtain an FSC, you will need to study for a 30-question test. You can take the test and receive your certificate at any store that sells firearms. The test has a $25 fee and the certificate is good for 5 years.

Here is the study guide for the FSC:
