Wall Township Firearms Application & Registration
Welcome to the Wall Township Police Department Firearms Division information page. All applications for Firearms Identification Cards (FID), Handgun Purchase Permits, and Permits to Carry must be submitted electronically through the New Jersey State Police online portals.
đź“‹ Step-by-Step Application Guide (FARS)
Use these steps to apply for an initial Firearms Identification Card (FID), a Handgun Purchase Permit, a Change of Address/Sex/Name, or a Replacement Card.
Step 1: Gather Your Information
Before starting, ensure your name and address exactly match your current New Jersey Driver’s License. You will also need the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of two reputable references. Warm your references to check their spam/junk folders for the automated NJSP questionnaire email.
Step 2: Submit the Online Application
Visit the New Jersey FARS Online Portal. When prompted, enter Wall Township’s unique ORI Number:
NJ0135200
(Note: If you enter an incorrect ORI number, your application will route to the wrong town, your fees will be lost, and you will have to restart the process.)
Step 3: Complete Fingerprinting (If Required)
- First-Time Applicants: Upon completing the online application, you will receive a contributor code and link to schedule a fingerprinting appointment via IdentoGO.
- Previous FID Holders: If you have already been fingerprinted for firearms purposes in NJ, your background check will process automatically utilizing your SBI number.
Step 4: Await Contact and Pay Local Fees
Do not call or come to the police station immediately. Wait for a representative from the Wall Police Firearms Division to contact you. Once notified that your application is ready for final approval, you must bring your local fees to the police department.
đź’° Fee Schedule & Payment Information
All local FARS fees are statutory and strictly non-refundable. Fees must be paid in full before your application can be finalized and processed.
