NEW APPLICATION PROCEDURES Effective 2/18/19
The S.T.S. 033 Form is prescribed by the New Jersey State Police Superintendent
for use by applicants for Firearms Purchaser I.D. Cards & Handgun Purchase Permits.
The online S.T.S. 033 Form should be used
only after consultation with the Alpine Police Department for processing your firearm application. You must first obtain an
Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) Number from the Alpine Police Department to complete this form (Alpine
Police ORI - NJ0020200). Please ensure that the agency ORI number is correct on the form. If an incorrect
ORI number is entered on the form, you will NOT receive a firearms ID card or a permit to purchase. You will then have to
re-apply using the correct ORI number and pay for the process again. A refund can not be issued.
