General Discussion / Lost Firearm registration
« on: August 04, 2023, 09:16:35 AM »
Aloha Folks, Its been a minute, hope you are all well.
I was helping my friend's father sort out his old firearms. He is considering giving me 2 pistols since he is getting old and never uses them. However, he has one pistol that he cannot find the registration for. Is there a way to obtain a copy of the registration from HPD? Does he even need a hard copy of the registration to private sale/transfer it to another individual?
I've bought a handgun through a private sale before (about 8 years ago) and the seller had to sign something, I forget what that piece of paper was, (it was not the bill of sale), I think it was backside of the registration, is that right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than that, all I would need to do is follow the handgun process right? (submit permit to acquire each handgun, wait 14 days, pick up permit to acquire, pick up firearm, bring it back to HPD for inspection and to register it)
Mahalo for your help!
