Frequently Asked Questions

What documents are required for a New Jersey carry permit application?

You'll need your driver's license, birth certificate (or naturalization papers), passport, FID card, and proof of address. Additionally, three copies of the state application, four passport-size photos, a consent for mental health search, proof of firearm ownership, and a qualification score sheet are mandatory.

How do I fill out the New Jersey firearms application, specifically the municipal code?

The 'Municipal Code' is a specific code for your town, different from the ORI number. You'll need to search for your town's code to fill this field accurately on the application.

What is the process for getting passport photos for a NJ carry permit?

For a New Jersey carry permit, you need four color passport-size photographs that are 1.5 inches. Ensure they follow the passport-specific design layout and are not cropped, showing your head and neck.

How is proof of firearm ownership handled for a NJ carry permit?

Proof of ownership can be a permit and receipt for a purchased firearm. If the firearm was inherited or brought from out of state, a notarized letter with the serial number, your name, and a statement of ownership is required.

What happens after submitting my NJ carry permit application to the police?

After submission, the police department will likely review your packet, send it for a mental health check, and arrange for fingerprinting. Once all checks are complete and satisfactory, they will forward it to the courts for final processing.
