If the IFT is between California residents:

You can just download form BOF 4544A, complete the information, and mail it with a payment to the California Department of Justice. More specific information on IFTs can be found HERE.

If the IFT is coming from outside California:

The firearm must not be configured as an 'Assault' weapon, and be legal for transfer. It must be received / processed through an FFL holder. Generally, the process is as follows:

1. Transferor ships the fireram to us from outside of California with a tracking number;

2. Upon receipt, we will set up an appointment to process the transfer.

3. Tranferee completes DROS paperwork, pays fees, and undergoes the '10-day' waiting period,
