Hi All,

 

I stumbled upon this forum and could hardly believe it exists! For the past few days I have been trying to get acclimated with the topics and the sub-fora. I am really impressed with everything I have seen here.

 

I saw there were a few others from Matawan on this forum and I'm wondering if anyone has experience getting an FID in Matawan. My house is on the market and I will be moving once it sells. Assuming (best case scenario) a couple of months to get a buyer (fingers crossed) and a couple of months to close, I'm 4-5 months away from living in a new town. So my question is whether I should hold off on submitting my application until I move or submit my application now and run the risk that I will not be a Matawan resident when it gets issued. I should add that I am assuming that would be frowned upon. Obviously, once I get my FID and move, I would have to apply for a change of address. But by then I would have the FID.

 

Any thoughts, advice, fellow Matawan-ians?

    Welcome to the Forum and if you don't have your FID already, get one now, also you might as well apply for a P2P or 2 for now while your at it, heck it will only be another 4 bucks..

    A change of address is the same process as getting a new FID. It is very possible that you will have paid the $100 in fees to get a card that you cannot use, and will have to pay the fees and go through the same process once you have moved.

    Hello and welcome from another Matawan resident. It all depends if you will be switching townships. I'm actually physically in Old Bridge Twp, with a Matawan mailing address, so I go to OB PD for my FID and PP's. If you will be moving to a different township, I would say wait. I know from experience (moved from Woodbridge and had to go through the whole thing). You will have to go through the whole process all over again, fingerprints, money orders, etc etc. If you are moving within the same township, and will have the same PD, then I think they can just change the address on your card. Might want to check with them first, as you never do know!

    Welcome!! One question.... Was it the shark that is causing you to move?

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I will not be staying in Matawan so I'm inclined to wait until I move to do it once. And, yes, the shark chased me out of town. :D

    Thanks. Considering an XD when my FID and permits are done. Haven't held one yet but looks like it would be a good ergonomic fit.
