What is California AB-1263?
AB-1263 is California legislation effective January 1, 2026, requiring sellers of firearm parts and accessories to verify identity, age (21+), and residential address of purchasers. The shipping address must match the ID address, and retailers must maintain audit trails.
What products are covered by AB-1263?
AB-1263 applies to firearm parts, accessories, firearm manufacturing machines, and barrels sold separately that are shipped to California residents. This includes AR-15 parts, firearm components, magazines, and other regulated accessories.
What happens if address doesn't match?
ShipToVerified automatically prompts customers to either update their shipping address to match their ID, or upload secondary proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement, etc.). This self-remediation happens without CSR involvement.
