How long will it take for Manalapan PD to contact me for PU of ID, & permits?

[SMOKIE901 10]

Received a email saying I was approved for my ID card, and permits on Thanksgiving day 11-28-19

Your application for a New Jersey Firearm Purchaser Identification Card and/or Permit to Purchase a Handgun(s) has been approved by the issuing authority. The physical card/permit must be obtained at your issuing police department (as indicated on your application).

Please be aware that to obtain this card/permit you must bring proof of identity (Picture ID with Name and Date of Birth) to the issuing police department. Now how long should it take for the Manalapan PD to contact me for picking up the ID, and permits?  Manalapan PD only has 3 or 4 days per month on specific dates, and times you can pick them up once they contact you, which is kind of strange to me. Nov 4th 10am to 2pm Nov 11th 3pm to 7pm Nov 18th 10am to 2pm Nov 25th 3pm to 7pm Dec 2nd 10am to 2pm Dec 9th 3pm to 7pm Dec 16th 10am to 2pm

Welcome to New Jersey, where 'strange' is the norm.

The permit issuance is handled by a retired LEO.  Thats why they handle applications and permit/ID card pickups on certain days. You didn’t say who that email was from.  I have to assume it was from Manalapan PD.  So just go there on the 2nd or the 9th to pick up your permit.

If you can’t make the 2nd, send an email now asking if your id and permits are ready and reference the email you received.  You should get a reply on the 2nd. If not, just go on whatever date you can make it.  They will either be ready or they won’t.

My experience before they went to a more digital process was the retired LEO would send you an email when they are ready to be picked up or if they needed to alert you that references had not come back.  But there was never any email like the one you received from anywhere except Manalapan PD.

And just for reference, that retired LEO, if he still does this, is a good guy. Not an anti.

The email I received was from the State with telling me Manalapan PD will be in contact when ready for pick up.

Status Update: Approved. DO NOT APPEAR AT THE APPROVING POLICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY IT'S PERSONNEL TO RETRIEVE YOUR DOCUMENTS.

Issuing Police Department: MANALAPAN TWP PD [NJ0132600]

Thank you for the info.

I now have my FID card, and two permits from Manalapan Township which the whole process from finger printing to picking up took 4 weeks.

Most Manalapan people  we deal with say permits are issued with in 4 - 6 weeks.
