WCLW 1 Posted February 11, 2013 Whippany (part of Hanover Township) took 21 days for my initial purchase ID. Also took 21 days for 3 separate pistol permits each, these were all done back in 2009-2011. I moved to Rockaway last year and haven't submitted anything there yet.

One reference had a phone questionnaire 2 weeks later. 2nd reference was done over the phone a week ago! I'm at 5 weeks now and I called last week and was told they are waiting for mental health check to come back. Will keep you posted. Wait is killing me!

XDm9-3.8 2 Posted February 15, 2013 I put in for permits at NJSP Woodbine on 12/20...I'm still waiting. Put in for permits at NJSP Tuckerton in mid-November. References said they got calls in early December. But now I'm still waiting. In the interim, I did get a extension on a previous permit I had, that took just under 4 weeks. I've always found them good to deal with at the barracks, seems upstream is where the delays are with NJSP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A NJSP Sergeant told me that they are essentially doing the firearms workload of 20+ departments in Trenton. Are the FID/P2P's processed by the same Firearms unit that does the NICS checks?

Almost 4 months! Sorry if I wasn't clear, I have my FID and P2Ps. It took 7 weeks from the day that I submitted my paperwork to get my FID and P2Ps. If I remember correctly, the PD sent the reference letters the week after I submitted my application. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capri_auto 0 Posted February 19, 2013 Clifton PD came through today. 10 weeks total for address change and 2 pp. It would have been a lot sooner but West Paterson lost the file request for my old records. Overall I think Clifton does a great job, but I wish they let you check status at 30 days. I would have been able to contact WP sooner to resolve the issue. My references received paperwork first week. Once I found out WP was missing the request it took a week to finish things up. Everyone I dealt with was helpful at WP and Clifton.

1LtCAP 4,263 Posted February 19, 2013 i filed my stuff just before christmas. i couldn't get an appointment to get fingerprinted till jan 7 2013, due to my schedule. before i got fingerprinted, lindenwold pd had sent letters to my 2 references.....both cap members, one of whom is active duty army. both sent in within a week. i still haven't heard from lindenwold pd. the clerk at the pd told us(i've finally corrup.....converted mom) to expect a 3-4 month wait. this sucks.

But if you are having a hard time and they are taking a long time you could contact the NJ2AS and see if they can help you. In fact you should join anyway, we need the support and they are always helping people with their permit issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlipperyPete 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Not glad to see others are waiting in the long line too, but glad to see I am not the only one. I had my prints done dec20 and submitted my paperwork with the references that day. My check was cashed on 2/1. Still waiting. Stopped at the PD last friday, and they told me State Police had not sent them back anything yet. I am in Washington Twp South Jersey. Not exactly sure as to the entire process, so not sure after the State gets back to the local what else needs to be done. I assume the state contacts the feds, then the state does their part. Not sure after that what the local has to do. I am guessing the local PD checked the references before it went to state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost1082 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Morris Township. Just got the call today. I am ready to pick up my FPID/PP. Applied late Dec. (right before Christmas so ~20th). Ready 2/20. Probably would have been done sooner, but 1 of my reference letters came late and had to schedule printings / interviews on weekends. If it wasnt drawn out, it would probably have taken about 5-6 weeks instead of the 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StateOfConfusion_NJ 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Somerville (Somerset Co) Last month (Jan '13) I applied for my initial FID and HG permit in NJ. According to the Sgt. here, there's been a huge influx of applicants since December and that it 'could' take up to 8 weeks. After submitting my paperwork it took 1-1/2 weeks to get a fingerprint appointment due to the backlog. The sarge called 15 days after I got printed that my paperwork was ready and to come pick up the FID and permit. I was shocked to say the least. Word is that generally they are lightning fast here. That probably also depends on your references. My 2 had the paperwork sent out the day after they received it. I almost feel guilty that it was so easy for me :-/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plode 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Talked to NJSP Firearms unit today regarding my P2P which I've now been waiting for, for over 2 months. I got a surprisingly honest employee on the phone. They said in the past month what they've done was processed all retired LEO's applications for FID and or P2P FIRST. Then they started doing all initial FID's for regular old citizens...and now they are just starting to process the P2P's from the past two months. They claim people will be receiving their initial FID's only, even if they also applied for P2P's at the same time, until they catch up. My regular PD is NJSP, so this may not apply to everyone.
