BGC after moving.

Only had an issue at one shop last time I moved. They looked at my ccw card and they were happy. With that said my current address was written on the back of the drivers license.

I don't move....

So, I guess that would entail calling them to verify the DL details to ensure it is updated. (still a pain, since that is voicemail and callback)

Not a big issue with the ATF either. I've had this conversation with current and retired agents and also again at an NSSF training seminar. 20 years ago it was an issue. With computer records as they are, it's not as big an issue with ATF. Side note, CBI told me they wouldn't bump a BGC for address.

It's supposed to match, but it's just not a big issue with modern computerized records. Basically, they already know who and where you are. Be paranoid. Especially you Foxtrot.

Thanks for the help guys. The main issue was the my wife isn't on the vehicle registrations or the mortgage and no new fishing / hunting licenses since we moved. Luckily she's on the title so the tax doc from the county did the trick.

I would have done the BGC but we were using points and the Cabela's club card is in her name so I wasn't sure how it would go over if I did the BGC and she paid. ;-)

ANYONE CAN PAY for any gun purchase. I've used the spouse' credit card for store & ATF e-file. No one cares, as long as they get paid.

This has worked for me.

Question I have:
Is a U.S. passport with the current address a valid ID for a check?

Big box stores (cabelas, walmart etc) will straight up turn you away if you tell them you live at a different address then what is printed on your DL.

CO DMV has a page on their site to change your address in the DMV system. Just go here http://coloradoservice.org/drivers-l...FQcKaQodIs0Ggg and change the address and write it on back. Boom, done.

Slightly related, while grabbing the Canik was interesting watch a guy from out of state get told no, no buying a gun there unless it's to be shipped to an FFL back in his state. Appeared to be trying to buy a Five-Seven in person from someone local.
