Obtaining a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card

Form STS-33 in duplicate

This is the dual application form for the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and the Permit to Purchase a Handgun. This extensive questionnaire-type form is where you will provide the names and addresses of two reputable persons with whom you are presently acquainted but not related to. In addition, references should not be people with whom you reside or Morristown Police Officers. Complete all required fields but do not sign the form as you must sign upon review at the Police Station.

 

If you plan to purchase a handgun, you must also enter the number of permits for which you are applying. Pistol permits are initially valid for ninety days and may be renewed for an additional ninety days.

 

Form SP-66

This is the Consent for Mental Health Records Search which allows authorities to look into whether you were ever institutionalized. Complete all fields but do not sign until you have the form reviewed at the Police Station.

 

Previous Address Form

On this form, you are to list all addresses where you have lived for the past 10 years, starting with your current address and working back. If you need additional space, you can print a second copy of this form.

 

$10.00 fee for the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card.

This is payable to the Town of Morristown and may be either cash,a check or money order. This is a one-time fee because the ID card is good for as long as you remain eligible to own a firearm in the State of New Jersey.

 

$2.00 for each handgun permit (except for the initial)

You will need one permit for each handgun you wish to purchase. This is payable to the Town of Morristown by cash, check or money order. Please note that for initial applicants who apply for a hangdun permit, we will include one permit in the initial $10.00 application fee. All other permits will be charged at $2.00 each.

 

Once all paperwork has been reviewed at the Police Station, you will be provided with instructions to have your fingerprints taken. As of November of 2009, the State of New Jersey has contracted with a private company to have all applicant fingerprinting completed. The fee for this service is $60.25 which will be paid at the time of your fingerprint appointment. You do not need this money upon submitting your application to the Police Station.

 

Once the background check has been conducted, you will be contacted by a member of the Firearms Investigation Unit and will set up a time to come in and pick up your permits.

 

I got mine a year ago, and it was an $18 flat fee for the 'NJSP - SBI' check...

60.25 is legit. The fid card should only be $5 though.

 

It is 18 for updated background check. 60.25 to the state police for new.

Plus, the Previous Address Form is an illegal additional requirement.

Oh come on Bob, you know they put that on there to ensure public safety. After all, who in their right mind doesn't want to ensure public safety.

 

I'm applying for my third set of permits in Belmar, they are on my desk right now. Nothing like the additional form that asks what I intend to use the gun for, if I have a valid hunting license and what the hunting license number is, do I have any experience hunting, what type or gauge of firearm I intend to purchase is, do I have any experience in handling the firearm I intend to purchase, where do I intend to use the firearm, do I shoot in competition, what type of competition, if I have ever successfully completed a firearms safety course given by a qualified instructor, name and address of my nearest relative, my previous addresses for the past 10 years, if I have ever been in the armeed forces, if yes what type of discharge and the time frame, my service number if I was in the armed forces, if I have ever been found guilty for driving recklassy or it's equivalent, if I have been found guilty of a DUI or under the influence of a habit forming drug, if I live with anyone who objects to me having a firearm, then INDICATE ALL FIREARMS YOU NOW OWN/POSSESS BY CALIBER, MAKE, MODEL, AND SERIAL NUMBER. (yes they actually have that part in bold.)

 

They also tell me that if I want to voluntarily register my firearms that a form is available at the front desk of headquarters.

 

 

I am sure that's all in the interest of public safety as well.

Ahh, you know what... I got my FPID in 2008 in Clark, NJ and got printed there manually or whatever. Didn't pay the $60.25... I moved to Morristown, and only had to do the Change of Address BS for my FPID, so that's why it was only $18... I already had the SBI number.

 

LOL, sucks for my brother

It's only in the last 2 years or so (paul back me up on this please?) that NJSP Stopped allowing local depts to fingerprint for FID's, and required everyone to go to Sagem Morpho. Don't feel bad i have to go shell out $75.00 for my SORA renewal so I can work off-duty.

I heard that Mo town will not accept completed exemptions from people and are telling them to fax them directly to the NJSP themselves. Anyone got better info on that?

 

Not what I understand to be the accepted procedure for exemption submission.
