Draftammunition administration
An ammunition eligibility check is DOJ's administrative review associated with the ammunition approval framework in Penal Code section 30370. [1] That section distinguishes matching information to an AFS record, a current Certificate of Eligibility and a review for a single transaction. [1] DOJ uses the names Standard, Basic and COE Verification for related administrative categories. [2] These terms describe different bases for review, rather than interchangeable names for a firearm acquisition record or a general carry license. [1][2]
