Bof 4546 Form PDF Details

The BOF 4546 form, developed by the California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms, serves a crucial function in the state's efforts to regulate and monitor firearm ownership and dispossession. Its primary purpose is to provide a formal notification to the Bureau when an individual no longer possesses a firearm that was previously registered in their name, covering a wide range of circumstances including sales, transfers, losses, destruction, and more. This form is comprehensive, requiring detailed information about the owner, the firearm, and the manner in which the firearm was disposed of or lost. Whether the firearm in question is a handgun, long gun, assault weapon, or .50 BMG Rifle, the form entails specific sections to be filled out, ensuring accurate documentation of the change in possession. Moreover, it embodies a legal declaration under penalty of perjury, underscoring the seriousness and legal obligations involved in firearm ownership and transfer. The BOF 4546 form is instrumental not only in keeping accurate records for public safety purposes but also in providing a clear pathway for individuals to comply with state laws regarding firearm dispossession, thereby facilitating responsible ownership and transition of firearms within California.
