APPLYING FOR PERMIT TO CARRY A HANDGUN 

  • Please see the document titled "Applying for Carry Permit." The application & additional documents you'll need when applying are also available below. We recommend that when you put your packet together for your local PD make sure to download 3 copies front and back of SP-642. Make sure you sign all three copies and have them notarized. In addition, have proof of ownership of the firearm the you intend to carry. If you don't have documentation you will need a notarized letter detailing the purchase history of the weapon. Next, have 4 passport photos, fill out form SP-66, paperwork from BCT 1 / BCT 2 and have a money order in the amount of $50.00 for (NJ) + $150.00 (for the your local PD) or $200.00 (NJSP) payable to; “Treasurer, State of New Jersey”. Then, you should get a case # from your local PD/NJSP and will have to be printed again. Finally, if the NJSP/local PD "Chief" signs off on your packet you are now good to go (see new Directive # 14-22 above 12/28/22). However, if your packet is not approved review the same new Directive # 14-22 for appeal process. Permit good for 2 years- 
  • Insurance for 300k Liability from new directive kicks in July 2023. At this point it can not be obtained in NJ because of Gov. Murphy Executive order from a few years ago. However, I would think this would be fixed before July 2023. The information on my website is my best understanding/interpretation of the the New Laws/Directives.
