Probably would have been a week earlier but we have a retired officer who does it in our town, he’s in on Thursdays and I dropped off the $50 10 minutes after he had left for the day.
Municipality: Upper Township, Cape May County, serviced by Woodbine NJSP
Permit Type: PTC
Date Submitted: 12/15/2024
Date Completed: 2/14/2025
Additional Information: After 7 weeks I contacted the Firearms Investigator at Woodbine to find out how much longer it would be, because my initial permit (that took me over 7 months to obtain) was expiring. He promised to see if he could expedite the process, which he did. My permit arrived the next working day. So that FI deserves a bit of credit, NJSP itself, not so much.
