Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong thread.
I done got hitched, and moved. I changed my address with my CCW issuing county, and have also turned in my change of address form with the DMV. With my new address written on the back of my DL, would there be any issue of purchasing a gun from an FFL if the new address hasn't been entered into the database?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Most places will tell you that you must have a State issued ID with the current address PRINTED on the FRONT of the ID.
Sportsmans accepted my CCW with the new addy on the front and a DL with the Change written on the back...
YMMV
I had a new address from the one on my license during my last gun purchase. I gave them my car registration with updated address and it was no problem.
How about your vehicle registration? I went to buy a shotgun and don’t have a license with my new address on it. They asked if my vehicle registration had my new address, which it did, and took that instead.

No dice on two accounts. My CCW is from Weld, which does not print addresses on them. My car is currently registered to my parents, which is the old address on my DL.
If the place (or somewhere around there for the matter) sells fishing licenses I know for a fact you can buy a stamp (habitat I think) for five bucks and use that.
5280... my brother's friend bought a gun there with his old address on the front of his DL, and the new address just on a sticker on the back. They had no problem with it.
My DL has been that way for over 5 years. Never had a problem with it. I just have the current on the back side incase the popo get pissy on a traffic stop. I've purchased from dozens of FFL's in the metro area with no mention of it.
Thank you for the replies. Should I wait a certain period before purchasing? IE, does the address you put on the form get entered for CBI?
Shouldn't make a bit of difference. Just put the correct info on the 4473. If you had to have the current address printed on your DL to buy a gun, most people couldn't buy a gun because that address only gets updated on your DL when you renew. I don't think DMV even gives you the paper sticker to put on the back any longer.
You're over-thinking this way too much.

just as an FYI
Must be an internal policy thing.
Easy fix for that anyway. Just make sure the address on the 4473 matches your ID. Just saying...
For all the years I ran my shop I didn't care. I told customers to put the correct address on the 4473. Didn't really care about the address on the DL. CBI/NICS don't care as long as the 4473 is correct.
Good info... my CO CCW has my new address, my DL has my old, my UT has my new... LOL
Ok, so if I understand, even if i had just mailed my change of address form to DMV, and printed my new address on the back of my DL, I'd be good to go so long as I put the new address on the 4473. Sorry if I'm paranoid, but if I were to get denied on a gun check, I could possibly be in hot water with my employer.
As long as you've done what's required by law you should be GTG.
But...how is your employer gonna know you were denied?
Because I'm purchasing from a fellow employee/management who is an FFL, and my job requires direct contact with firearms pretty much the whole time.Quote:

you should be GTG, only thing i will say is just depends on what dealer you go too. corporate companies like bass pro, gander, dicks, sportsman's, ect... have extra policy within the company as fare as selling a gun all you need is an extra form of identification so either car registration, CCW, passport, anything that is government issued with the new address.
i worked at dicks sporting goods part time for the last three years if i got someone with an address not matching on the forum 4473 i just ask them for a second forum of id with the current new address its pretty simple i could not transfer the firearm until i had that information! Its not a denied, just a road block until the correct Identification is provided.
will you get denied cause of your address change i would highly doubt it, but CBI can be weird at times usually when its an address issue they ask to check the id again and resubmit if it even comes up!

I ran into this on a purchase. They stated all they needed was anything issued by the state with my present address. I gave them my fishing license and was gtg.
You can also buy a fishing liscense to use as id with your address on it. This happened to me at Sports Authority when I bought my 10/22. I didn't think my car registration had my current address on it. It turns out that it did, but they said I could have just gone to the front counter for a fishing liscense.
Ccw your good
I have never changed my dl address but have the new address on my CCW and have never had any problems.
I'm not sure how I could use my CCW to purchase from an FFL; my CCW does not have an address printed on it.
