... or lack there of. Is it typical for these Identgo locations to be fully booked for weeks? I've gotten a state background check before, except I got finger printed in my local police department and it took less than a minute. I just don't understand why we even need appointments much less how they're fully booked. 

to answer your question simply.... yes, this is now par for the course. I just did this about 3 weeks ago at Raritan Center in Edison New Jersey. and you cannot make a same day appointment they are usually booked about a week and a half out. the funny thing is is when I went there it was not a soul around and it only takes about 30 seconds to complete the task.

See, that's what I figured. Finger printing doesn't take long. I just made an appointment for the 29th. That's ridiculous. I honestly thought it was an error until I spoke to someone on the phone.

"We're sorry, but our electronic fingerprint impression technician is only available on alternate Thursdays between the hours of 10:15 and 10:20 A.M.

We appreciate your business, but if you can't fit into our state-mandated schedule, you're shit-outta-luck. Thank you for picking MorphoTrack, a Corzine-owned enterprise."

Yes they are, had the same problem getting fingerprinted for youth sports background check.  Typically a 4-8 week backlog.

Summer is tough esp august with all teachers coaches subs getting registered for back to school.

My son just did it and was able to get an appointment in a couple of days at the Eatontown location.

They are using digital prints now.  When you got it done, and when I got it done at the PD, they were ink/paper prints.

So it's even quicker now? No need to roll out the ink. I wish I could just go to the PD I used to dispatch for and have them do it. 

the truly sad part is as long and ridiculous as the fingerprint wait is...it will seem like a drive through service compared to the wait for your fpid/pistol permits...

try a different location. a slightly longer drive might be worth it.

It's all the same story. I could get it a week earlier if I take off of work, but it doesn't seem worth the hassle to take off just to do it 5 days sooner. The one closest to me is just completely booked. There are no available appointments at all. 

Do they not require it for address change? I just handed in my app last week, and was told I don't need to get finger printed if it's for a change of address. Even though when I first got my Fid it was done in ink at the pd.

Technically, no they don't. It is rare that they don't just process it like a new permit.

This PD has been excellent so far. I handed my app in last Wed, and by the weekend, both my references had the forms already. They did also send one to my job, which I was surprised about. But so far, in addition to not making me get prints taken again, I can't complain too much.

I did mine in Newark, because it was more convenient location to my workplace. I recall there was no problem getting an immediate online appointment. Just had to pay for parking my car in a lot. Plus my local PD got the prints right away.

Mine took a day or maybe two. I did it in brick.

Back 4 years ago, when the state was contracting some other company (Sangam Morpho or some nonsense like that), it was the same deal. I remember booking the earliest possible date, and I still had to wait weeks to go do it. Not only that, but there were only like 6 of the places in the entirety of NJ. Luckily, at the time I lived less than a mile to the closest one to me.

Identogo is the same company as MorphoTrack...just changed names. Texas uses them for CHL prints. Same way down here...had to wait 3 days for the appointment and when I got there, there were no other customers...in and out in 5 minutes. Six weeks later, I had my carry license.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

I wonder if you'd get away with just showing up. When I got my fingerprints a couple years ago (somewhere in Bergen County...Paramus I think?), I remembered noticing that no one bothered to confirm I had a scheduled appointment.

When I went the guy had a check list. I was 3 hours early and he didn't seen to think anything of it.

Mine was so long ago i don't remember ....lol
