XneroX 0 Posted October 27, 2019 So unsure where to post or really if I even need to ask but I’ve recently lost and had to go through the wonderful fid process again. My new card is marked duplicate as is understandable but is there and negative associations with a duplicate card? Or is it merely for there record keeping against stolen fids Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0Jeep4 87 Posted October 27, 2019 Not sure exactly, but I’ve lost my original also, and haven’t had any issues buying ammo, firearms etc.. with the one marked duplicate. Not sure anyone noticed to be honest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paltik 3 Posted October 27, 2019 I changed my address years ago and my FID is marked duplicate. It’s fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downtownv 1,774 Posted October 27, 2019 Did you know... Having A NJFID is the ONLY ID you need at NJ DMV? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It counts as 3 points towards the 6 points total you need, but it is not considered a ‘primary’ ID. You still need an ID from the primary list contributing to your point total.

You must have gotten a Plick, because I just renewed my DL showed old license and FID. Period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,296 Posted October 27, 2019 The old license is a primary ID, worth 4 points. NJ point system 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,147 Posted October 27, 2019 We only get one original FPID, the very first one. Any changes (Name-Address), or reasons for replacement (mutilated, lost) results in a duplicate. All subsequent cards are duplicates. Dunno why they call it a duplicate, must be for accounting/tracking reasons. We go through the entire background check process, fill out all the same forms, and for old timers like me, go get fingerprints scanned instead of inked at the station. It's the exact same process for getting an original. EDIT: btw, it's worth noting, a duplicate is not the same as a copy. A duplicate is the same as the original in every way, including it's authority. A copy is an impression, a fake, and carries no credence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
