Permit To Purchase Firearm Turn Around Time?

[Sabeast 0]

Trying to get an idea on how long some people have recently waited to receive their permit to purchase firearm? Applied for 3 permits first week of December, with last status of "Reference Questionnaire submitted" by both references.  Are we able to check status online?

Every town does it at a different pace. Some towns take 3 weeks, some towns take months. 

There is no way to check the progress.

You will rec'v an email from FARS when the PD finishes the background check.

Your next email FARS email will be the approval that says how many permits you have and the expiration date.

And not all NJSP barracks operate equally, if that's your responsible agency.

I spoke to my PD. They’re telling me 3-4 months is the current turn around time!

For a PP or FID? either way thats an insane amount of time.

I applied 1/13/23 got my PP on 1/26/23 Wharton/Mine Hill is pretty good with PP and FID. Took 2 weeks to get my change of address when i moved here in 2013

That's crazy.

I applied for 2 permits in late December and the turnaround was about 3 weeks.

My son applied for his FID at the same time (same town) and the turnaround was about 4 weeks.

A 3 - 4 MONTH turnaround for those is absurd...

A little less then 3 weeks in North Hanover.

The last 2 I received took 7 days,   It is totally up to how quick your references respond and the PD that you apply to.  NJSP seems to be the worst for anything firearm related.

Still no permits, going on 3 months. Union county

Applied on Jan 30 and approved on Feb 17.  Just found out today from local PD.  Stupid NJ never emailed me to say I was approved.

**Update**

My email from the FARS system arrived this morning, 3/1, at 4:33.
