Ok, so I got my FID and Pistol permit a few weeks ago. Subsequently went out the very same day and purchased my very first handgun, which I sadly and blasphemously, have yet to fire at the range. Lonely unfired gun aside, I took a look at my FID a little closer as I was going to laminate it and noticed that the boneheads mispelled my first name... Weeks of calling and having them look up my name (spelling it for them each time, obviously correctly) and they don't get it right. 

 

So...do I really need to go get that fixed? Is it going to be the same disaster all over again with waiting weeks for it to come in and all the while being without a valid license even though I technically have one? 

 

Anyone have this issue? Anyone know if it simply means them reprinting it and handing it back? I don't want to go to the range and be denied or have some other kind of issue. 

 

 

Thanks for the help.

Best thing you could do is go to motor vehicle and have them "fix" your driver's license with your "correct" first name as shown on your new FID card :)

 

 

On a more serious side, I would go back there and ask them to fix it - its their error.  DON'T hand over the one you have though!!!!!

I had a similar experience with a minor error on a change of address.

 

Detective Burns of the Lawrenceville PD got it fixed in one day - the chief of police was available. 

 

It should be easy to get this fixed assuming the chief who signs them is around.  On the other hand, if your FID was issued by the NJSP YMMV.

Depends on your PD. I can tell you that mine would simply retype the card with the correct info and issue it. Take a couple minutes.  No need to wait for the chief - they have a rubber stamp for that.

 

If it's going to take a long time to fix (no reason for that), I sure wouldn't give up the one with the incorrect spelling in the meantime.

 

Good Luck.

 

Adios,

      Hello all,
      Some opinions please.  I am a long time NJ resident and also a resident in SC.  I spend 8 months out of the year in NJ out of necessity.  When I leave NJ I carry everywhere as I have multiple CWP's.  I have purchased many pistols legally in NJ over the years.
      I was thinking about getting some new permits to pee...(my term for the Pistol Permit) but with all the BS that had been going on I was thinking about refraining.
      I also have completed all the NJ CWP permit applications, but I am not sure I am actually going to apply.  I don't need to put up with the NJ BS.  To me it's insulting.  Plus with all the restrictions coming and being tied up in the courts for probably years, it may be just a futile exercise.   I would rather just leave when my house is build in SC and buy it there.  Once I switch my license to SC, its cash and carry for me.
      I have the old, non-expiring FID.  What I do not want to happen is if I go apply for new permits to pee, that my FID gets converted to an expiring one and then I have to pay a renewal fee.   
      I did read the new regs and it looks like they are grandfathering old FID folks to the non expiring one but this is NJ...what is written in law is usually ignored by the class warfare system we have here and the horrible mentality and attitude of some of these LEO's and NJSP officers that think their personal bias is important and the sneers you get when you go pay the $2.
      Am I being paranoid?

      I just got my FID for long guns, although I don't know anything about guns or ammo. What is a good gun to get my hands on that will help me learn more but won't break the bank, at the same time being ideal at home defense?

      Hello,
      I have two questions regarding FID application. So I have seen three psychiatrists for ADD, and while I know this is not a disqualifying factor, I do not know the exact dates or years that I attended, and mind you that I am currently 20 and attended from ages around 7 to 17 or 18. This is a problem because the application asks this, and then asks for the names and dates of such occurences. Is it okay if I state that I do not know the dates of such occurences, or if I give the date estimations of which (I do know the names)? 
      My second question is regarding references. I do not know any police officers well enough to be able to ask them to use them for my FID, so will two friends that I grew up with do just fine? Thank you.

      After reading so many references to the new FARS application and registration system, I stopped by my local PD to check it out. I believe it’s worth mentioning that not all PD’s are currently using the new system. So, before paying any fee’s or signing on to FARS you should check which system your PD is using.
      Sorry if this info is redundant to another post, again thought it was worth noting as all fees are non-refundable
      Firearms Application & Registration System (FARS)
      The State of New Jersey is now accepting firearms applications for Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Pistol Purchase Permits electronically. 
      The following Web site will allow an applicant to apply for Initial and Duplicate Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Permits to Purchase a Handgun: 
      https://njportal.com/NJSP/FARS
      If you reside in a New Jersey State Police covered area and are certain which NJSP Station you are applying through, utilize the following ORI #’s to apply.  If you are not certain, contact the NJSP station to obtain the proper ORI before applying.  All fees are non-refundable.
