Step 1:

Complete the online application. You may complete the application using a smartphone, mobile device, laptop, or desktop computer. When completing the application you will need the email addresses of 2 reputable references. Your references can be family members.

Step 2:

You MUST appear at your Police Department to PAY for your INITIAL FID card and/or Pistol Purchase Permits. Fees must be paid by cash, check or money order. Payments should be submitted with your FARS confirmation number. Your application WILL NOT be processed until you have paid for the FID Card/Pistol Permits. All fees are non-refundable and need to be collected PRIOR to completing background and issuing FID Cards/Permits as per NJAC 13:54-1.4.

*Once your application is complete, a station representative will contact you to retrieve your FID card. Pistol purchase permits are e-permits and you will receive a separate email from the state (NJ Portal) with instructions. 

*The on-line application is applicant driven. Please ensure that you have entered the best phone numbers for yourself and references as well as the best email addresses for yourself and references.

*It is highly encouraged that you include a SSN where indicated. Failure to do so could significantly delay processing of the application.
