I've searched, and can't seem to find the right combination of words, so here's my question.

 

The $18.00 fee we have to pay for background check, does that have to be a money order/certified check, or is a personal check sufficient? It's been a couple years since I've applied for a permit and I can't remember that detail to save my life. I know the fingerprint charge had to be MO/CC and that the $2.00 permit fees can be whatever, but I'm drawing a blank on the $18.00 fee.

 

Thanks guys.

USPS MO made out to: "Division of State Police - SBI"

Money Order. It will end up going to the state police or SBI (I forget which). The $2 per pistol permit can be paid in cash.

This is my experience from Middletown. YMMV

 

 

 

Bob - of course you beat me to it.

Do they take cash? they did for all the fee's for my FID... besides morpho

Money order only.

SBI is a division of NJSP (State Bureau of Identification)

Yup, money order. I use a MO from my bank, doesn't have to be a USPS MO in my experience. $2 cash per HG permit.

I had a feeling... Thanks guys.

 

Paul, I'll be in touch soon about a Glock 19 and some kind of .22 pistol...

lol i got an FID and 2 PPs and paid $9 cash. got printed offsite and was $60-something for that. and thats it.

ive never paid the 18. all we pay here is the 2 per permit

$18 is up to the PD to re-run the check or not.

 

As my LEO explained, once he knows you, he does not need to, in general, if it has been less than a year since last permits, they do not run it.

That's how our township is too. If it's been more than a year, they re-run it. For me, it's been two...

good to know, its only been since october since ive recieved my last ones hopefully i can avoid the $18

I hope you're right. My town makes me pay the 18 dollars every time.

Same here in Sayreville, Every single time, 3 times this year already.

Old Bridge makes you pay the $18 EVERY time you go for PP's. If its been over 2 years since your last PP, they want you to go through the entire FID process again including fingerprints, etc. I see this as nothing more than a hidden tax and as a method to hinder people from exercising their rights.

 

We already have our FID and other PP's from the same PD station, how can they not know "who we are". I'd also like to know why the local PD just can't punch up our info into their local computer system to see if we have any outstanding warrants, domestics, or felony charges/convictions. Maybe I give NJ too much credit, perhaps there are no such systems?

They are not allowed to use an NCIC III "F" flag to do this in in NJ.

While I am not even sure what this is, or means, it seems that is exactly what the local PD is supposed to do as per the NJSP App Guide...

 

"Check the applicant through the Interstate Identification Index utilizing the 'F' purpose code. A III should first be run under the 'QH' screen. If a record is returned, proceed to the 'QR' screen."

 

This is why there needs to be some oversight of the investigative process.

 

Adios,

Thank NJSP..their rules..at one time you ONLY had to do the background ONCE, and after that you submitted your App and got your permits. Under Corzine is when they stated with this $18.00 for every transaction nonsense. Some depts Still minimize and only do it once a year, as Maksim said..most however do it for every transaction to appease NJSP.

Same here.

CH and CR?

Submitted yesterday... The clock is ticking. Let's see how the holidays affect my PD's turnaround time. So far, every permit I've ever got has been under the 30 days.

good to know, its only been since october since ive recieved my last ones hopefully i can avoid the $18

 

 

(copied from a statement I made in a different post on 14 Sept.)

"I recently had a similar problem, but it was with the State Police SBI form. They state in the application packet that you can apply for an exception or waiver of the $18 fee if you have been fingerprinted or have submitted the SBI 212A within the past 12 months. (Well my wife and I just received our FID and one permit each within the last 5 months.) We were applying for some additional permits and I sent a letter with each application requesting a waiver of the $18 fee based on the noted exceptions. They wouldn’t do it. They responded by requesting a money order for the fees anyway. What can you do eh? It’s up to their discretion and if they don’t want to give you a break they don’t have to. But this is the NJ way… taxes and fees."

 

It delayed my processing time by about a week. Good Luck.
