CageFighter 236 Posted August 19, 2010 Just dropped off my FID & PP application this morning AFTER (4) trips to the PD. Got the paperwork to schedule appt for prints via MorphoTrak and its more than a (2) WEEK wait! Earliest appt was Fri Sept 3rd. =Ouch, that hurt!!

Babaganoosh 192 Posted August 19, 2010 Mine was over 3 weeks. If I didn't take that appt it would have taken over 4 weeks. Good think I get out of work at 1pm or else I would prob have been in the 4 plus week slot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KpdPipes 388 Posted August 19, 2010 I had to use Sagem to get my SORA (Security Officer's) Card to do side work, i had to wait almost 4 weeks for an appointment, and made the deadline by 2 days to get everything in. I'm wondering who in the statehouse is connected to Sagem, since everyone it seems has to go to them for Applicant fingerprinting..for Everything, even when the local PD USES a Sagem Machine for their prints.

sirsloop 1 Posted August 19, 2010 Both times I went there the place was empty. They probably charge the state a certain amount of time per fingerprint... when really it takes all of like 1-2 minutes to actually do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvolutionX 0 Posted August 19, 2010 My appointment was about 2 weeks also for Morphotrak. Finally had prints done yesterday & called my PD. Detective told me that now I just have to wait for my backround check. 30 days and counting...tick...tick...tick... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted August 19, 2010 I'm curious. For those that have now used Sagem Morpho, but previously were printed locally, heas the new system - even with the wait for an appointment - sped things up at all? I realize that these long wait times are strictly a product of your particular municipality and that's why I'd like to hear an apples to apples comparison. i.e. Fingerprinted by the local PD = 6 week wait / Fingerprinted by SM = 4 week wait. Guess I'm just asking if this is an improvement. In my municipality the local PD still does the prints. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CageFighter 236 Posted August 20, 2010 Did you just check your local one only? I live in Toms River and have one right in town but it had a 3 week wait....so I checked all the others and Cherry Hill had one the next day so I took the 45 minute ride and went there. I think I had my ID and permits a week or two after I would have only had my prints done had I stayed local. I looked ALL OVER. down south, east & west. no luck! basically earliest appt was Sept 1st, so I decided to go with the closer place, but 2 days later on Sept 3rd.

AdamaSys 0 Posted August 21, 2010 I waited about two weeks as well. I arrived an hour early for my appointment at the MorphoTrak location in Sparta... there was nobody around. The actual process took no more than 2 minutes. I don't see where the 2+ week wait comes from or how they justify the fee of $60.25. I also don't see why the task has to be outsourced to a private company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
