APPLICATION FOR PERMIT TO CARRY A HANDGUN

* The falsification of information on any of the applications for firearms permits is a violation of N.J.S. 2C:39-10c and is crime of the third degree. Any falsification may result in criminal charges against you.

The Concealed Carry Permit website allows for online submission of both initial and renewal applications. If you have never applied for a concealed carry permit on this website, then you will apply as an initial applicant. Approved applications are due for renewal every two (2) years. Renewal applications can be submitted up to four (4) months before the expiration date. Before applying for a Concealed Carry Permit, applicants must have been fingerprinted for a firearms application in New Jersey. After an applicant is fingerprinted for a firearms application, a SBI number is assigned to the applicant which will allow them to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit. If you have never been fingerprinted for a firearm application in New Jersey before, and you are a New Jersey resident or dual resident, start with an application for an Initial Firearms I.D. card here. If you are an Out of state resident that has never been fingerprinted for a firearm application in New Jersey before, please email firearmsinvestunit@njsp.gov for further directions.

You can find the Permit to Carry Safe Handling and Proficiency Certification and Use of Force Training document on the NJSP website here.

If you have lived outside of the state of New Jersey in the last ten (10) years, please fill out form SP-066 (Consent for Mental Health Records) and upload it to your application.
