Is it OK to buy ammo(.22LR) if my old address is on the card? No one is interested in my DL and I started to worry that it may cause a problem when I submit the Change of Address paperwork.

Sucks, but wildly strange coincidence that you lost your FID in the move, but you have to go get a new duplicate one anyway.

yeah, you need to get a new card with the updated address as well as the updated address for your DL (typically a little sticker to put on the back until your renewal comes along). At least thats what my wife had to do with her FID when we moved into Monmouth County/Howell.. (from Mercer/EW)

 

that said, technically, you are not supposed to need anything but FID to buy ammo in NJ.. so it wouldnt really matter what address is on it in the short term.

Not to play devils advocate but the way I read the law is your fid and an issued id nothing ever says the addresses must match just to show you are who that card says you are I know what shop owners will say but yea

You are right Nick. Your FID is valid until it becomes invalid for certain reasons. Changing your address isnt one of them. So your DL and FID dont have to match for a transfer or ammo.

I've never shown anything but a FID to buy ammo, and even then you only need it for handgun ammo.

from what I have heard on here, no NJ FFL will sell you a gun of any kind without the FPID and DL having matching addresses..

 

ammo is another story, probably acceptable since they dont typically require BOTH ID's, but for an FFL transfer, they pretty much gotta match.. (PK90 posted something on here previously with the ATF info)

I would like to change my opinion on both one's FPID and DL having to match. Since that post, I have been informed (and most dealers also have been) by the NJSP Firearms Unit, that a FPID does not become invalid because one changes their address. As described in the other thread that directed you to the ATF Newsletter, if the government issued identification document does not have all the stated required information, a combination of other documents is acceptable.

So I didn't have to go through the process of updating my FPID when I moved? Mother fu......

 

Oh well, I was submitting for HPPs at the time anyway, but good to know for the future. (Though, my next move will NOT be within this state's borders)

Seriously? Sweet. So when my Larue lower shows up I wont have a problem picking it up with my FID that doesnt have my current address on it? (Change of address is in process)

Thanks everyone. Good info....................
