Does name/address change have to be done within a certain time frame? If so, and wasn't done, would that constitute forfeiture? Perhaps Bloodtrails would know? __________________ The government’s view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it, and if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan

| Hey, I dont understand any of you guys asking questions about the firearms ID card . Wouldn't it make more sense just asking your local police the rules about the ID card . Asking someone on this site about this subject is not a wise thing to do. Especially if they give you the wrong answer !!!! | ||

| My original card was from 1992. I recently applied for change of address adn was told it would be four to six weeks. Get the forms, fill them out, include required fee and take back to police station. Should be all set. | ||

If you got 100 of em here and asked them these questions you'd probably get 99 different answers. The buck stops nowhere, especially at the local PD. If there were enough people in this state willing to voice an opinion to get rid of FID cards altogether do you think anyone would listen?? |

Was just curious before I go down there. Want to be prepared. Did talk with the detective who handles FID's and he didn't want to answer any questions. Just want my FID updated. In the future, I want to purchase another pistol or revolver and I will apply for the handgun permit at that time, as I know I would not be buying anything within 90 days from now. Thx all for your replies. Kathy __________________ The government’s view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it, and if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan

The law says 30 days. As TJC can attest it CAN be done in 30 days if all the paperwork is done properly on your part. Any time more than 30 days is most likely your PD dragging their feet.
With that said, your recourse is hiring a lawyer and that could be expensive.

No. You don't have to change it within a certain amount of time. However, it becomes a useless piece of paper the day it doesn't match your drivers license and you will not be able purchase a firearm in NJ. __________________ "To be unarmed and therefore helpless in the face of evil is irresponsible and in fact complicit to said evil.

Bloodtrails, I understand it has to match DL to purchase. Had sold everything in 92--didn't think about changing info on the ID. In your opinion, do I have to start all over or can I just have the necessary changes updated. Been at the same addr for past 15 yrs. I appreciate your input. __________________ The government’s view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it, and if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "start all over"? Basically, when changing your address on your "FID" they are going through the entire process, except maybe fingerprinting.
I would just go in, explain your situation and see what paperwork they want you to do. If your worried about not updating it sooner that shouldn't be a problem. Remember the NJ "FID" is ONLY nedded when purchasing a firearm in NJ. Not for transportation, hunting, possession or any reason other than purchasing. __________________ "To be unarmed and therefore helpless in the face of evil is irresponsible and in fact complicit to said evil.

I was under the impression that the NJ FID cards never expire and are good for life unless revoked. I had to get my address changed on mine a few years back and it took less than a week. The funny thing is that I called the philly firearms unit last year and asked if I moved to PA ,would I have to get the address updated on my FLA concealed carry permit and they told me that the permit is attached to ME, not my residence and to wait another 4 years until it expired to change it and that it is valid even if I move several times as long as I dont violate any of the provisions to obtain one. I wish NJ would make it that simple , yet then again , this state loves to do things the hard way. __________________ NRA LIFE MEMBER

Unless you tried to buy a gun with it since the move with mismatched ID , then it should'nt be an issue. I know people who have a NJ FID card that havent bought a gun in decades and their card is sitting in a drawer somewhere collecting dust and as long as they hav'nt committed a crime , it should be valid to use tomorrow. Your local PD should do a quick background re-check and issue you an updated card. __________________ NRA LIFE MEMBER

Just walk in and request an updated card with current address and don't volunteer any other information. Just keep it simple and to the point. __________________ NRA LIFE MEMBER

Quote: I didn't move yet but, I wanted to cover my bases if I do. They also recommened keeping this one instead of getting a PA one because this is valid in 28 states and PA's permit isn't nearly that many. I was surpised to here this from philly PD because with the current status of things in the city , they have been overwhelmingly anti and usually discourage people from carrying. I plan on getting a PA one anyway when I make the move.I changed my address on all of my CCW permits.

Since I cant get a NJ LTC ,I cant get a PA non-res.,yet my FLA is valid under the reciprocity agreement, go figure. The PA attorney general's firearms guy said he wishes they would just come up with a national one to end all the confusion because many officers aren't aware of reciprocity ,as did the DEL. AG's office. __________________ NRA LIFE MEMBER

One,
When I lived in NJ I had a PA CCW. I applied and they gave it to me. I come to find out a couple years later that they shouldn't have because you are supposed to show them a permit from your home state unless your state doesn't offer one and technically NJ does offer one. (or maybe they changed the law, who knows??) __________________ "To be unarmed and therefore helpless in the face of evil is irresponsible and in fact complicit to said evil.
