I just got fingerprinted by Sagem Morpho today for a self background check. How long should I expect to wait before getting the results back?

I'm not sure however let us know because then we know how long it takes the info to get to the police depts out there. That way they can stop holding stuff up when the pretend to not have the information they need yet

.

how much did that cost? I have a friend who has been interested in getting into firearms for some time but is afraid he will be denied based on getting arrested for a problem he had with his girlfriend years ago.. he was never convicted of anything serious as far as I know... so he has asked me before about doing some kind of self background check..

Absolutely! My appointment was at 9:24am but I got there early and got fingerprinted about 15 minutes early. As soon as the results are in my mailbox, I'll let you guys know.

The cost was pretty cheap! It only costs $41 bucks to do it yourself. You have to go to NJSP's website and download the appropriate form and fill out the correct information.

 

In Box #1 "Originating Agency Number (ORI#)" you put NJPRR0000.

 

In Box #2 "Category" you put PRX

 

In Box #3 "Statute Number" you put 13:59-1

 

In Box #4 "Reason For Fingerprinting" you put Personal Record Request

 

In Box #5 "Document Type" you put S1

 

In Box #6 "Payment Information" you put $41.00 <-----If you are paying by credit card over the internet

 

In Box #7 "Contributer's Case # (Unique Identifier)" you put PRR

 

Then, after your payment has been processed, fill out the bottom of the form. Instructions on what to put and where will be on screen as you are processing your payment.

 

You can get the form from here: Click here to download the form in PDF format

 

Looks like the top of the form is already filled out for you.

 

 

I only expect 3 hits to come back on my check if any at all. 1 was a charge I got in 2005 in which I was found NOT GUILTY (thank goodness, the whole thing was BS from the start!) The second was in 2007 when I got a bullcrap restraining order against me which was dismissed two months later. The third was when I had to do two days in county jail for driving with no insurance. That was crap too as I was riding a dirtbike (1992 KX 250, dirtbikes are one of my other hobbies) in 2000 on a trail and the police stopped me.

 

They hit me with no registration and no insurance. I ate it and paid the fees and stood the two days in the county. The first time I got no insurance, it was my fault. I moved and forgot to pay the bill because I never reported the change of address. Needless to say I never got the bill.

 

Hopefully, I can expunge ALL of those if they show up on the report.

I also did a self background check and it took about 2 weeks to get the results back from NJSP.

you should get the results VERY fast...like in 2-3 days

In this state you don't have to be convicted of anything to be denied your FID Card. If you were arrested at any time and you fill out the form you better be honest and put that down when asked because they will find out. It may be a little harder to get the card because of that but it also isn't a certaintly that you will be denied either.

I don't understand where you are coming from. Questions 16-19 on STS-33 SPECIFICALLY asks "Have you ever been CONVICTED." It does NOT ask have you ever been arrested. The only exception is one of the questions asks "Have you ever been adjudicated a juvenile delinquent?" and then asks you to list dates of offenses.

 

If I remember correctly, you cannot be denied just because you were arrested. Its the convictions and adjudications that count.

Hey guys, I forgot to ask in my original post. Since I just got fingerprinted by Sagem Morpho, will I have to be reprinted when I turn in my permit app (assuming I turn in my app within the next month or so)?

yes. the request for your background is for you, not the police. if you have anything to fix, best to know BEFORE application for the FPID. If you have anything come up, i would apply for the fid thru an attorney to minimize the chances of denial. you have to look at total potential costs to minimize them in the best way that ensures that you get the desired result.

I'm just telling you ahead of time. I don't care what the law says. The NJSP do what they want. Period. And if you don't think you will be questioned about that when the detective at the local station runs your name think twice.

 

Do you think there is any law in this state that says dealers have to fill out papers when a person goes in to buy ammo. NO! None exists. And I'm not talking about showing your FID card. It was the state police that told dealers if they didn't comply they would be shut down. I know this first hand from people that I know that used to work at Ray's in North Plainfield.

Got my results back today! Only two items! One not guilty disposition and the other dismissed, and BOTH are expungeable! So, armed with this knowledge, how do I go about doing a pro se expungement?

I smell attorney needed at this point.

If they're not convictions, then you should be fine, right?

That's what I was thinking. I think im just gonna try my luck tomorrow and turn in my app.

If you exponge your arrest use this: Expunge Kit

 

Just make sure it is the latest. No need for an attorny on simple arrest records

That's what I was thinking. I think im just gonna try my luck tomorrow and turn in my app.

i would not suggest that, talk to the person at the PD who MAKES the decision BEFORE you do anything. People have been denied for having an arrest with no conviction...JUST for your own good, ask them so that it does not become a big problem.

they are gonna ask about it, just tell them what happened and how you were exonerated and the case was dismissed(they are gonna look at the records)

 

in any case, good luck!!!! I have my fingers crossed for you
