wwmarcww 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Do you have to provide references every time you want to apply for a purchase permit? I just applied for my initial FID and 1 PP. When I want to apply for more PPs in the future, do I need references to answer a survey and write letters again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted July 17, 2012 Yes. That is why you always should apply for 6 at a time (at $2 a pop, you are only kicking in an extra $10 for six months of no hassles). It means that you will only need to file for permits twice a year (assuming your local police chief doesn't have a policy against extending permits).

Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted July 17, 2012 Yes. Every time. For future reference, apply for more than one (1) P2P next time. They are only 2 bucks and can be renewed for an additional 90 days. I just applied for 3. It's better to have one and not use it than need one and not have it, you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this_is_nascar 162 Posted July 17, 2012 If you just applied within the last couple of weeks, go to your police station and tell them you need to make that request for (3) permits total, not the (1). They may be able to change it without a hassle. My PD did, with no issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDon 3 Posted July 17, 2012 OK, here is how it works: You fill out the form complete with everything except your signature, the date, and the number of permits one time, listing your two best buds as references. Make bunches of photocopies. Tell your buds when they complete the reference, to fill out with everytihing except for their signature and date. Make bunches of photocopies. Of course, the moment you do this, the NJSP will change the forms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted July 17, 2012 To the OP - your PD requires your references to write letters? - Additional requirement - not legal. Contact the NJ2AS @TheDon - fillable forms (.pdf format) are available on the NJSP website. Fill them out and save them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbautomatisch 60 Posted July 18, 2012 You will need to provide references every time, most PD's will send out their standard letter to your refs each time, but some may opt not to if you applied recently, other PD's may call your refs instead. It's up to them what they are going to do each time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJSigfan 218 Posted July 18, 2012 So what's the max number of permits someone can apply for? I was always under the impression thelimit was 3 but a member above mentioned 6? So which is the correct number? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDon 3 Posted July 18, 2012 No limit, but there is no sense applying for more than 6 unless you also apply for an exception to the 1 per 30-day law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anselmo 87 Posted July 18, 2012 If you just applied within the last couple of weeks, go to your police station and tell them you need to make that request for (3) permits total, not the (1). They may be able to change it without a hassle. My PD did, with no issues. I requested 1 permit and when I picked it up asked for 2 more. The nice lady took my $4 cash and called me the next day to pick them up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
