In order to obtain a firearm, you must meet eligibility requirements and comply with the statutes which govern firearms purchases in the State of New Jersey.
All firearms applications for residents of Lavallette are handled through the police department. If you need guidance with the application process or have questions, please call 732-793-4800 x671 Ptl. Ryan Greenhalgh.
Firearms Application Process and Requirements
The process begins with making application for a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and along the way, requires you to submit to a background investigation by both state and federal agencies, supply references, be fingerprinted, and consent to a mental health records check.
There are two types of purchase permits in New Jersey—the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and the Permit to Purchase a Handgun. If this is your first time buying a firearm, you will need to apply for both but this is accomplished using the same application form (Form STS-33).
Applicants should anticipate the process taking approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Incomplete or missing information may delay the process, as will the failure of your references to respond in a timely manner.
Links to the requisite application forms are available at the bottom of this page.
If you are obtaining a Firearms Purchaser Identification
Card for the first time, you must submit the following:
-
Form STS-33 in Triplicate *Must Sign All Originals
-
This is the dual application form for the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and the Permit to Purchase a Handgun. This extensive questionnaire-type form is where you will provide the names and addresses of two reputable persons with whom you are presently acquainted but not related to.
-
If you plan to purchase a handgun, you must also enter the number of permits for which you are applying. Pistol permits are initially valid for ninety days and may be renewed for an additional ninety days.
-
Form SP-66 in Triplicate
-
This is the Consent for Mental Health Records Search which allows authorities to look into whether you were ever institutionalized.
-
After all forms are completed and signed you must pick up at the Police Department form no NJAPS2.
-
All fingerprints for firearms are now done electronically.
-
$5.00 fee for the Firearms ID card
-
This is payable to the Borough of Lavallette and may be either a check or money order. This is a one-time fee because the ID card is good for as long as you remain eligible to own a firearm in the State of New Jersey.
-
$2.00 for each handgun permit
-
You will need one permit for each handgun you wish to purchase. This is payable to the Borough of Lavallette by check or money order.
-
Note: You cannot combine fees in one payment. Payment to the borough must be separate from payment to the state.
You will be fingerprinted by the police department upon submission of the completed applications and fees.
If you already possess a Firearms ID Card and/or a
Permit
to Purchase a Handgun, you must submit the following:
-
Form STS-33 in triplicate
-
Check the box at the top of the form to indicate that you are applying to purchase a handgun and enter the number of permits you are seeking. Pistol permits are initially valid for ninety days and may be renewed for an additional ninety days.
-
Form SP-66 in triplicate
-
This is the Consent for Mental Health Records Search which allows authorities to check and see if you were ever institutionalized.
-
$18.00 money order (conditional)
-
In lieu of being fingerprinted, you may be required to submit a Request for Criminal History Record Information (Form SBI 212A). This will be determined by the length of time between applications. If required to remit this fee, your payment must be in the form of a money order and made payable to the Division of State Police S.B.I.
-
$2.00 for each handgun permit
-
You will need one permit for each handgun you wish to purchase. This is payable to the Borough of Lavallette by check or money order.
-
Note: You cannot combine fees in one payment. Payment to the township must be separate from payment to the state.
If you are seeking a Permit to Carry a Handgun:
A permit to carry is required for any handgun—concealed or not—and it must be renewed every 2 years. Only one permit needs to be obtained for all such handguns.
In addition to meeting the requirements of the Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and Permit to Purchase a Handgun, you must also:
-
supply proof of your familiarity with handguns
-
include endorsements from three individuals attesting to your good moral character and ability to exercise self-control
-
have a “justifiable need to carry a handgun”
-
provide a description and serial number for every handgun you intend to carry
Issuance of this permit is almost completely discretionary and New Jersey has a policy of strictly limiting permits to “persons specifically employed in security work…and to others who can establish an urgent necessity for carrying guns for self-protection.”
