Looking for clarification on a restricted transfer. I mailed transfer papers signed by both me (seller) and the buyer back in June of last year. The Transfer Notification (Seller) was emailed to me today.

Since the buyer and I both signed it, I assume the buyer will just get a new registration in the mail at some point. For now though, I'm cleared to give him the firearm. We're both in the same city, so he can just pick it up. Also, since he's taking it to his residence after a purchase, neither of us need to call in to get an ATT. Is that correct?

Buyer's email should specifically state 'you are authorized to transport this firearm home'

Thanks mate. Not sure they received the certificate yet. So they need the certificate to pickup right? Although, legally, that's their problem and not mine since my transfer paper says "You are now authorized to transfer the firearm(s) listed below to the new owner".

I think the email is sufficient.
I think it says this in the email.

There will be a pdf in the email, this is what I got:

Transfer Notification (Buyer)

This is to inform you that your application to register the following firearm(s) has been processed. You may take possession of them now. Your new registration certificate(s) will be sent to you in a separate envelope.

If you applied to register other firearms than those listed below, you will be informed of the decision with respect to those firearms through a separate notice.
