What should you do if your Firearm Safety Certificate is lost or stolen?

If your Firearm Safety Certificate is lost or stolen, the appropriate action is to contact the California Department of Justice for reporting and replacement. The Department of Justice is responsible for maintaining records related to firearm safety certifications, and they can guide you through the process of reporting the loss and obtaining a replacement certificate. This ensures that your records are updated and that you remain compliant with California’s firearm regulations.

This procedure is necessary to maintain the integrity of the licensing and certification system, confirming that the certificate was indeed lost or stolen and preventing any misuse. The other choices, although important in their own contexts, do not directly address the proper course of action for reporting and replacing a lost or stolen Firearm Safety Certificate as effectively as contacting the California Department of Justice does.
