At the end of the month I'm moving. Staying in the same town. When just changing addresses to you need to make the full notifications (local pd, issuing authority, FRB) or is just notifying the FRB sufficient?

Massachusetts General Law Chapter 140, section 131(l) states:
Any licensee shall notify, in writing, the licensing authority who issued such license, the chief of police into whose jurisdiction the licensee moves and the executive director of the criminal history systems board of any change of address. Such notification shall be made by certified mail within 30 days of its occurrence. Failure to so notify shall be cause for revocation or suspension of said license.
Local , FRB, and the PD from which you are moving must be notified within 30 days of the move.
No exactly but usually the case..
The licensing authority may not always be the Local.
It must be sent certified mail to all 3 which is expensive. Why this can't be changed online is beyond me.
There is one other situational where an individual has to notify the police department and a state agency every time they move. It's called the sex offender registration board.
Case and point I know it's the law and I will comply.
However I find this law ridiculous, you should be able to do it online. Last time I moved I think it cost me $18 in certified mail fees.
It is what it is.
This law should be repealed completely.
TBH, it shouldn't be required at all. They're treating us like how they treat sex offenders.
We have unique pin numbers for personal transfers you should just be able to do it in the system but that would be smaaaat and were not smaaat.It must be sent certified mail to all 3 which is expensive. Why this can't be changed online is beyond me.

Thanks. Was just wondering if there's any difference moving from one town to another vs moving within the same town.
The form says you can also call the FRB to notify. Some on here say that's not what the law is and you must do it in writing but I, personally, just called them.

WRONG! You never notify anyone because you are moving out . . . only if they issued the LTC do they get notified.
FRB, PD that issued LTC/FID and NEW town PD.
Yes, you only have to send 2 certified letters (assuming the town you are moving from/to was your issuing authority).
I would never notify by phone, the law specifically says only by certified mail and offers no alternatives to it.
I really like that idea. However it requires a literal law change and I don't see that happening any time soon.

I didn't say they're wrong, not did I say that notifying by phone is legal. Do some folks on NES say that notifying by phone is not legal, or do they not? Yes or no question, should be pretty easy."Some on here say that's not what the law is"?? You make it sound like an urban legend or an old wive's tale. Well, its not. The law CLEARLY spells out what is sufficient. So, those who "say" the law says is must be done in writing ARE NOT WRONG.

I'm glad you agree with me.And yes, people do say it's not legal.
