INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO APPLY FOR YOUR FIREARMS PURCHASER IDENTIFICATION CARD (FID Card) AND/OR PERMIT TO PURCHASE A HANDGUN

NEW TO FIREARMS?
NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN?

DISCLAIMER: THE ARSENAL GUN SHOP DOES NOT PROCESS E-FID/E-PERMIT APPLICATIONS!

WE ONLY PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION AS A COURTESY,  TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE PROCESS WORKS WHEN APPLYING FOR YOUR FIREARMS PURCHASER IDENTIFICATION CARD (E-FID Card) AND/OR E-PERMIT TO PURCHASE A  HANDGUN (E-permit).

THANK YOU.

Here's How The Process Works:

In order to purchase a long gun or handgun in NJ, you will need to apply for a NJ E-FID Card and/or NJ E-Permit to Purchase a Handgun (E-permit) through the NJ Firearms Application & Registration System (FARS).

Before you begin the electronic application process, you will need your local Police Department's ORI #.

An ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) # is a unique number assigned to each Police Department and State Agency. Be sure to choose the correct ORI #, as using an incorrect ORI # may result in the non-processing of your application.

For more information about this application process, please visit:

If you have any questions regarding the application process, please contact your local Police Department directly. 

 

Lastly, be sure to visit this NJ State Police website for answers to some common firearms questions.
