The letter must be enclosed within the gun shipment and the receiving FFL in California must retain the letter for three (3) years.

To obtain approval, the shipping FFL must have the California FFL’s five-digit Centralized List number and fill out an application and provide the invoice number and quantity of long guns and handguns to be shipped. The application process will be available to FFLs online and via facsimile or telephone once the FFL is enrolled in the CFLC program. NOTE: This law only imposes burdens on FFLs.

How old do you have to be to be a "Relic"? I know I'm one!!
