Proof of relinquishment is documentation establishing that a required surrender or transfer occurred. Under Penal Code section 18120, the restrained person generally must file the original receipt with the issuing court and a copy with any serving law-enforcement agency within 48 hours after service. [1] Section 29810 uses a Prohibited Persons Relinquishment Form with receipts in its separate conviction or adjudication process. [2] The applicable proceeding determines the document, recipient and deadline; the phrase alone does not establish compliance. [1][2]
