Guide on how to apply for a NEW JERSEY CCW (Non-Resident)
Out of state residents no longer need to use the TOTOWA Sub-Station ORI# - When you apply, the NJSP portal will assign you to a random station ORI to process your application:
STEP ONE: 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.
Put in the Subject Line: “I’d like to apply for Fingerprinting/SBI#”. In the email message type in your name and address and phone number.
DO NOT CONTACT THE BARRACKS BY PHONE, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN ALREADY 10 DAYS SINCE YOU DID YOUR FINGERPRINTS - AND ONLY TO REQUEST FOR YOUR SBI NUMBER.

This is based from the written direction from the NJ State Police Totowa Firearms office:
STEP 1 - GETTING AN SBI # & FINGERPRINTING:
FINGERPRINTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FINGERPRINTED IN NJ FOR FIREARMS:
STEP 2 - THE REQUIREMENTS:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND: The NYS Mental Health office takes forever to mail back your report to the NJSP. Even though they accept the forms from the Totowa Station via fax, they don’t send it back electronically. The average time is 4-6 weeks at best, on average it is over 2 months or longer. The NYS Health only uses the regular USPS first class mail, which is very unreliable and takes forever. Please be patient, DO NOT call the Totowa Station asking for any updates. If you haven’t received your approval via email, it is most likely that the Totowa Station is still waiting for your NYS Health form to return. Calling the Totowa Station will only DELAY your application! Once approved, you will be notified via EMAIL from the TOTOWA Station.
STEP 3 - THE APPLICATION:
