The California BOF 4546 is the official state document titled the Notice of No Longer in Possession of Firearm, issued by the Department of Justice (CA DOJ) Bureau of Firearms. This document formally notifies the Bureau when a California resident is no longer in possession of a firearm previously registered in their name. Filing this official document is a legal requirement under California state law.
The form covers all situations in which possession of a registered firearm has changed. This includes items sold, transferred, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized by law enforcement, or returned to a dealer. The document requires the owner's identity, detailed registration and serial number data for the specific firearm, and a clear explanation of the reason the person is no longer in possession. Supporting records such as a bill of sale, a law enforcement report, or a dealer receipt may be required to complete this document correctly.
A Declaration signed under penalty of perjury is a mandatory component of this California state form. Signing the document confirms that all no longer in possession details submitted are accurate. This requirement reflects the serious legal obligations attached to firearm possession records in California and the state's commitment to maintaining accurate data on all registered firearms.
