Ok so today I had to renew my drivers license, when i got to the booth area to take my photo the woman asked me if any information had changed. Now my original license said my eyes were hazel (this was my fault) but in fact I have green eyes. So I had the lady change my eye color to green. Does this make my FPID invalid now? Do I need to reapply? Or does eye color not really matter so much? Just curious if any of you guys know if I have to go through the whole FPID process again, thanks.

All the information on both is supposed to match. I can't imagine a guy selling you a gun would pick up on an eye color discrepency though. However, this being NJ, you wouldn't want to get jammed up and lose your right to own guns for passing false information. I would get it changed. I wouldn't surrender the old card until you recieve the new one either. If the PD wants it when you turn in your app tell them your dog ate it or you can't find it.

I think that going back to DMV and getting a replacement License cause you "lost" it would be much easier, Mr. Hazel Eyes! Eye color can change depending upon the color of the light that the eyes are viewed in, and YOU MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE CHANGE on your license.

 

Don't over-think this.

What ever you do if it's change your FID card make sure you let them know you were with the other guys who were in that horrific boating accident and you need a replacement.

just put a hazel contact lens in one eye so you have one of each. problem solved.

Is there eye color on the FPID? Hmm. I never looked at the back.

Here's what I understand.

 

First, NJ statute says that your FPID is valid until you are a disqualified person. The statutes say absolutely nothing about changing the information on your FPID for ANY reason.

 

However, the NJ administrative code says that if you move, you must change your FPID address, also. It does NOT say your FPID is invalid, though, only that you must get the address updated. I'm unaware of a Rule syaing you must change your FPID if your eyes change color. Also, I don't know if there is a NJ Administrative Rule saying that you cannot still use your FPID if it doesn't match your driver's license, but I haven't read the whole code.

 

Either way, most FFL's are not eager to transfer to you if the info doesn't match between your DL and FPID. So, what does this mean?

 

Your FPID is still good and valid.

I don't know of a statute or regulation that says you have to update your FPID if your eyes change color.

FFL's (like Paul), probably aren't going to do an eye-color comparison between your DL and FPID.

 

It's your decision what you do with this info.

lmao great answer. Oh and just to clarify, the issue is all because of my wife/mom lol. When I was was a child growing up my mom constantly told me my eyes we hazel and I grew up thinking they were, until I met my wife who for some reason was obsessed with convincing me they were green haha. Women, always making things more difficult, its just funny that I changed the info at the DMV on a whim as a bit of a joke and now look what happened.

Also shows that maybe you should listen to your wife a little less. Ha

Are guys really going back and reapplying for cards when they go gray and/or bald? And isnt weight on there too? That will certainly change over the years, especially if you get the card when you're 18. To me eye color is in the same boat as these things.

All that I look for on the FPID is the name, address and SBI#; and on the DL, the picture, name and address. If all coincide with each other and the 4473, all is good to go.

Awesome! thanks for the help man!

eye color can also change due to eye disease, my grand mother's eye used to be brown color, but now is bright blue due to some kind of eye disease.
