My wife applied for her NJ FID Card in Howell NJ todayand she needs to make an appointment for fingerprinting at MorphoTrak. Is it normal for Police Stations to farm this out now, as well as pay $57.50 for the service to exercise a constitutional right?

Unfortunately, yes. It is done statewide now.

Enjoy your freedom, pay at the door.

The entire state uses it and every branch of service, if you need to get fingerprinted for a state BG check for anything it goes through them, has very little to do with FID's and what not.

Good news is that it's one and done. You don't have to get fingerprinted again for subsequent purchase permits.

Unless you live in a town that says you do. Some towns make you re-fingerprint if you go six months without getting new pistol permits. That is why you should file for permits twice a year whether you need them or not. I usually find a way to use the spares.

Walk in. Sign the clipboard and wait. Do not question the guys. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and get printed and go back to pd with paperwork. Set at 450 for 3 months

It's been that way for a number of years now
