Used to be if it was less then a year for your last permit you did not need to submit the mental health and SP background check, thus saving the money .Was informed today that that has changed. Detective told me that you will have to do the mental check every six months and criminal  check every year when you apply for permits. No more just applying every six months to avoid the other fees. Says this came down from the State Police.

The sheit starts!

That’s so the state can make more money off of our purchases.

Never heard of this. Statute specifies that it be done every time and there have been no changes. Suspect your local PD was playing fast and loose with the process, possibly due to manpower resources and may have been caught.

I have every time I applied.

I have every time I applied.

I just got 3 pistol permits and Ha needs in My paperwork-to the PD but I also had to go on the State Police website and fill out a form and pay them which I have never had to do before.

If its form 212a. You have to do that everytime.  If they havent had you doing that.  Youre lucky.  

I never had to do anything but pay 2 bucks a permit and fill out one form! Always got them in two to three weeks! What is this online thing? I got three permits about ten months ago.

For the last couple of years, I've had to fill out an online form for the criminal background check and then provide the confirmation number on my application to NJSP.  I think the check cost $20 paid by CC.   They've never required that I be finger printed again.  They have an SBI # for me, they have my drivers license and social security card - guess that's adequate to establish my identity since my fingerprints are already enshrined in some folder somewhere. The mental health check is done by the trooper.

This is done every time.

Prior to the online form, both background checks were done by the trooper - every time.

Same here.

In my town they have to be done each time you apply.
