Has anyone recently gotten a permit from UNION NJ? Did they give anyone a hard time? How long did it take to get?

Went to pick up an application mid-July. Braught it back, had fingerprints done at the PD a week later, set up an appointment with Morphotrak for second set of fingerprints. Will be going this week, will keep you posted on how long it takes.

I got my FID and pistol permit back in 2000 and it was about a 6 month wait. I had my FID redone about a year ago (I moved within town) and that took just over a month I beleive. It seems they have gotten more anal as they had a notice up that they would not extend any pistol permits but that was about a year ago.

 

Once I'm re-employed (which will hopefully be soon) I'm going to go in for some pistol permits so let us know how it goes.

I've been assisting the fiance with getting her FID, and unlike my township its been nothing but a hassle. Either the detective on charge isn't in or he's on "vacation." We'll keep trying and I'll update if I have any luck. Good luck

i went through the process in March for FID and 2 permits.. The Det. you'd be working with is a really nice guy and the other detectives i've met aren't bad either. It took exactly 6 weeks from the day i handed my application in and was fingerprinted. I setup morphotrak 10 days later and yet the entire process only took 6 weeks. Union PD also sent out vouchers to my 2 references.

 

The only issue is trying to get a hold of the Det. If you go to the PD you can ask the OIC for the application since now it's in a packet with a yellow instruction sheet attached. Once you complete that, you need to call the Detective Bureau to setup an appt. My suggestion is to call 8-8:30am to get a hold of them.

 

Goodluck and if you have any other questions, let me know

Any update? I still haven't be able to get a hold of the detective yet and we've been trying since the beginning of summer. After 3 messages left with no call back, and on appearance still nothing. I don't even want to get into specifics of how we we're talked to when we went in person to inquire further about the FID card.
